Ten-year-old Ambassador Virtuosa Ihechiziterem Ikemezuo-Chintuo, representing Abia State, has emerged first runner-up at the grand finale of the 2026 Little Miss Nigeria Pageant.
Virtuosa finished second behind eventual winner, Aisha Salau Audu, in the keenly contested national finale that paraded talented young contestants from across the federation.
The 10-year-old prodigy also went home with a cash prize of N300,000 and clinched the Little Miss Nigeria Photogenic title for her poise, confidence and stage presence.
The grand finale featured cultural presentations, intellectual tests and creative showcases that celebrated Nigeria's diverse heritage while instilling leadership values in the girl-child.
Statement by the organisers said the Little Miss Nigeria initiative goes beyond conventional pageantry and provides a developmental platform to nurture intellect, build self-confidence, foster national consciousness and instill positive character in young girls.
They commended judges, corporate partners, parents and guardians for supporting the successful execution of the 2026 edition.
