“The 32nd edition of the pageant, with the theme, “Every Woman” would specially educate young girls on their roles as mothers, wives and career beings.

“The nine days programme would involve educational tours, trainings on modelling, self esteem and physical fitness, crafts and personal development,” Abraham told NAN.

Abraham said that the selectiion of the girls, with a minimum of secondary school certificate, was based on their inherent potentials that could boost the image of the country.
