The CEO, stressed that Miss Health Beauty Pageant was saddled with the responsibility of creating awareness on existing diseases, as well as nipping in the bud the developing diseases and the possible means of prevention across the federation which was the immediate target.

He said every contestant will pick an existing epidemic to do a power -point presentation during the grand finale and urged potential contestants to start braising up and be ready to research in order to represent well, saying there won’t be room for “beauty without intellects, rather intellects without beauty,” he noted.
