The Miss Nigeria organisation reiterated that it maintains high standards in its operations and will continue to uphold values of respect, professionalism, and excellence.
Industry analysts say the clarification was necessary to protect the brand’s reputation and prevent further misunderstanding about its involvement in the incident.
They also stress the importance of proper event management to avoid similar occurrences in the future.
