The contestants were later reduced to five from where Aaron emerged.

 Dunu eventually picked the prize for the first runner-up, while  Ameh was named the second runner-up.

 Aaron, winner of the pageant, will take home N3 million, a luxury apartment and an automobile. She takes over the crown from Mildred Ehiguese who won the 2017 edition.

 There was no registration fee for the 2018 edition of the pageant in a bid to be all-inclusive and “to prevent financial restraints on the part of young ladies who are truly deserving of the ultimate title”.
