Onyinyechi Basil, representing Anambra State, has been crowned Miss Universe Nigeria 2025 after an intense contest that lit up Lagos on Saturday night.
Basil rose to victory in the grand finale as she and Miss Lagos, Damilola Bolarinde, stood side by side as the final two contestants, while the franchise confirmed her as the winner.
The new queen edged out strong competition from other top contenders.
Miss Bayelsa, Fortune Kurobo, finished as second runner-up, while Miss Ogun, Irene Ikediashi, took the position of third runner-up.
From the 22 contestants who began the journey, only 10 advanced to the final stages. Among them were Miss Delta, De-Blessing Asaboro; Miss Ekiti, Ezekiel Silver; Miss Imo, Chukwukereobi Chinaza; Miss Ebonyi, Ugoaru Onuoha; and Miss Oyo, Lagoke Funmike, though they did not progress further.
The night was a showcase of culture, glamour, and creativity.
