In his speech, the governor applauded Chidimma’s resilience and determination to overcome challenges.

Mbah also assured Chidimma of Enugu’s support as she prepares to represent Nigeria in the upcoming Miss Universe pageant in Mexico.

Chidimma, born in 2001 to a Nigerian father from Enugu and a Mozambican-born mother, had to drop out of the Miss South Africa pageant after being bullied online by South Africans.

In response to her new achievement, the beauty queen appreciated the Enugu government and the people of the state for their show of love.

“I received the honour of being in the presence of the Governor of Enugu state, Dr. Peter Ndubisi Mbah. Upon my home coming I was received and appointed as the brand ambassador of Enugu State 🥹🙏🏽🇳🇬 I cannot express my gratitude for all the great things I have achieved in my fathers land. Again … Nigeria 🇳🇬❤️THANK YOU for picking me up when I was on my knees.” She wrote.
