Miss Bayelsa, Miss Ogun, Miss Lagos, Miss Akwa Ibom, and Miss Anambra were among the top five competitors.
Onyinyechi Basil won the third round of the tournament by outperforming her fellow finalists.
Swimwear, traditional costume, evening dress, and the Q&A session were among the different categories in which she competed.
