“The Miss Nigeria Pageant is a true representation of One Nigeria. The platform has over the years empowered young women from diverse backgrounds, ethnicities, and religions,” she said.
“I am proud of what my husband, Mr Fidelis Anosike, founder of Folio Communications and Publisher of Daily Times newspaper has done with the brand for 16 long years. I am pleased to announce that he is handing over the reins to me and partnering with TASC.
“I believe I have acquired the skills and knowledge suitable for this partnership. I have been on board with him for a couple of years watching and learning from him and others. I look forward to the next phase of Miss Nigeria.”
Anosike, while congratulating Dominic, said he is “confident that she will take the pageant higher to the pride of Nigeria”.
“Who better to take it to the next level than my delectable wife Rita Dominic and The Audrey Silva Company, I am confident that she will take the pageant higher to the pride of Nigeria,” he said.
“We welcome the Audrey Silva company into the Miss Nigeria 1957 partnership with great expectation which will be for the Miss Nigeria platform to transition into an empowerment trust for young Nigerian women.”
Dayo Amusa, the Nollywood actress, has addressed the public’s inquiry about the identity of her child’s father.

Addressing these concerns via a TikTok live session, Amusa maintained that she will not disclose her child’s father’s identity.
The actress explained that she is concealing the father’s identity to “maintain my peace” and prevent anyone from ruining her happiness.
The movie star alo expressed her excitement about being a mother and having “a new name”.
“I realised that some people are so interested in knowing who the father of my child is. Is your husband missing?” she said.
“Moreover, the child is not a fruit that just fell from heaven. He definitely has a father. It is not compulsory you congratulate me, do not bother.
“If it not convenient for you, don’t worry. I do not care. I am the one in the public eyes, not my husband.
“I would only let out what I want to let out. I want to maintain my peace that is why my personal life is undisclosed.”
