Abike Dabiri-Erewa, Chairman and CEO of the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission (NiDCOM), congratulated Chidimma Adetshina on her outstanding performance as first runner-up at the 2024 Miss Universe pageant. Adetshina represented Nigeria and finished just behind Denmark’s Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, who won the crown.
Dabiri-Erewa praised Adetshina for her “doggedness and resilience,” noting her incredible journey, including her decision to withdraw from the Miss South Africa 2024 competition amid controversy.
“Big congrats, Chidinma on your victory as first runner-up Miss Universe Nigeria. You were bold, beautiful, and focused when we received you after you had to leave South Africa for Nigeria. Wishing you unparalleled success ahead”, she wrote on X.
