Rita Dominic Takes Over Miss Nigeria Pageantry

After 16 years of successfully organizing Nigeria's leading beauty pageant, Miss Nigeria, Folio Communications is transferring the responsibility to The Audrey Silva Company (TASC), a prominent production company owned by actress and producer Rita Dominic and renowned film director Mildred Okwo.

Regarding this transition, Rita Dominic, one of Africa's most acclaimed movie stars, expressed that the Miss Nigeria Pageant serves as a genuine reflection of a unified Nigeria. Over the years, it has empowered young women from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions. She is proud of the remarkable work her husband, Mr. Fidelis Anosike, the founder of Folio Communications and the Publisher of Daily Times newspaper, has accomplished with the brand over 16 years. Rita Dominic is thrilled to take on this new role and partner with TASC.

Dominic emphasized that her 25 years of experience in film production in the entertainment industry has equipped her with the skills and knowledge needed to lead Miss Nigeria.

Mr. Anosike, while speaking about this significant moment in the pageant's history, commended the original creators of Miss Nigeria and Chief Atinuke Oyelude, the first Miss Nigeria, who is set to celebrate her 93rd birthday on November 16. However, Anosike believes it's time for fresh leadership for Miss Nigeria, and he believes TASC is the ideal organization to carry forward the legacy.

He expressed his confidence in his wife, Rita Dominic, and The Audrey Silva Company, stating that they are the perfect team to elevate the pageant's status to the pride of Nigeria. The partnership with The Audrey Silva Company is welcomed with high expectations, aiming for the Miss Nigeria platform to evolve into an empowerment trust for young Nigerian women.
