Ezennaya emerged winner in a contest with 20 other beautiful ladies last weekend at the Tera Kulture, Lagos.

Asides being the brand’s ambassador for the organisers of the event Zikel Cosmetics International, a leading cosmetic brand, and representing the brand locally and internationally, the new queen Ezennaya went home with prices, including a brand new car, a luxury trip to Dubai and one year supply of Zikel cosmetics.
 
The event also availed the aspiring models opportunity to achieve their dream, as it was not a winner takes it all. It awarded 10 other queens with different portfolios, including Face of Zikel Tourism and Face of Zikel Universe. These winners were also named ambassadors for the brand in the coming year.
  
On the objective of the event, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Zikel Cosmetics, Kelvin Ezike said it was to empower young women with interest in the beauty industry.

“For me, it is about changing the narrative by engaging young girls to be self-reliant, while also erasing the negative perception about pageantry.”

He also noted that the girls were selected based on their looks, intelligence, confidence and charisma.
  
This year’s event also recognised and honoured some personalities, including Nollywood actress Linda Osifo, Kingsley Okonkwo (a.k.a Kcee) and Trish O who have contributed to the growth of the nation in various capacities.
