The aims and objectives of the Miss Niger Delta
event and post event projects are centred on
re-orientation of values, socio-cultural
integration, peace promotion, talent and skills
development, training and capacity building for self
reliance, self employment and empowerment of female
youths of Niger Delta.
The Miss Niger Beauty Pageant is not all about
fun fare of crowning beauty queens but one event with
a purpose aimed at discovering and assisting
talented female youths of the Niger Delta to play
their roles as ambassadors for peace and development
and as proud daughters of Niger Delta.
The organisation has produced 12 beauty queens since
its inception in 1999. The functional titles
of the crowns are: Ambassador for Peace and
Development, Symbol of Talent, Model for Change,
Face of Beauty, Pride of Niger Delta and Miss Niger
Delta in Diaspora.
These beauty queens are using their positions and
offices to add value to life as well as bring about
positive change and transformation in the region, as
role models. This project which started in 1999 is
employed as a platform to project the image of the
Niger Delta positively and also promote the rich
cultural heritage of the region in culture, fashion,
indigenous music, dance, traditional hospitality, as
well as the beauty and unique sites of our tourism
potentials.
The pageant is organised with respect for the
dignity of womanhood and our cultural values, hence
the dress code of our contestants (traditional and
dinner wears) which forbids indecent exposures
during the events.
We wish you the very best in the Miss Niger Delta
2014 contest. |
