As parts of its commitment to youth empowerment, Dana Air, was on Tuesday, unveiled as the headline partner of the Pageant Conference scheduled to hold next month August.

According to the convener, Pageant Conference, Winfrey Agbelese, the 2023 Conference was designed beyond just grooming aspiring beauty queens but also creating a pageant hub experience where industry’s relevant challenges are highlighted and discussed,

According to her, ”The Pageant Conference 2023 is one of the many great plans and visions that we have at the Pageant Academy with regards to the development of the youth in line with the Sustainable Development Goals 5,8, and 10.

”The idea is to elevate the overall pageant experience, performance and representation of our girls locally and Internationally and to create a networking pool where pageant organisers can share their wealth of experience and enlighten the girls on pageant experience while providing an avenue for aspirants to connect and share opportunities.”

Also speaking on the sponsorship, Dana Air’s Head of Corporate Communications, Kingsley Ezenwa, said, Dana Air considers a lot before engaging in any CSR project or sponsorship and this initiative is one that will impact Nigeria and particularly the youth.

Dana Air is a youth-friendly brand and the concept is basically to help our girls perform better at both local and international pageants and by extension, place Nigeria on the global stage once again as the last time we had such great outing was when Agbani Darego Won the Miss World.
