The grand finale took place on Sunday at the Ahmadu Ribadu Multipurpose Hall and was organised by Limelight Worldwide Event Managers. The event attracted notable politicians and commissioners from across the state.In an interview, Amos expressed her excitement and gratitude, describing the win as a dream come true. She said she had always aspired to be a queen with a purpose.
“Since I was a young girl, I admired women who used their beauty for a purpose. I always wanted to be a queen who does not just wear a crown, but one who carries her people with her. I felt incredibly grateful, humbled and emotional. It was more than just a win. It was a dream come true and a platform to make a difference. I saw the crown as not just a reward but a responsibility,” she said.
Amos revealed that her next step will be to launch awareness campaigns against street hawking by young girls, and she plans to promote education and empowerment for female children.
She encouraged aspiring beauty queens not to give up on their dreams.“Be yourself, prepare well and let your heart lead the way. Pageantry is not just about looks. It is about impact, voice and vision. Stay confident and kind. You are powerful, you are worthy. Don’t let your background limit your dreams. With courage, purpose and education, you can rise and shine. If I can do it, so can you. Inspire yourself,” she added.
