Chidinma Aaron has been crowned the 42nd Miss Nigeria 2018, in the star-studded event which took place on Sunday at the Eko Convention Centre, Lagos.

The event began with eighteen contestants, but they were pruned to 12 finalists which include; Ntan Nton, Egede Lagele, Thomas Mseve, Ameh Munirah, Otunba Ifunaya, and Shitta Remilekun, Tizhe Usa Miriam, Okudili Odinaka Doris, Agida Stephanie, Ugwu Ijeoma, Aaron Chidinma Leilani, and Dunu Chisom Olivia.
