For Iferike, hope is not merely a concept—it is “the zeal that keeps me grounded in my goals, career, and life, serving as the voice of reason that reminds us all to keep trying.” This philosophy drives her as she steps onto the national stage, and the poise of Northern Nigerian women. She masterfully combines tradition with modernity, bringing grace and an unwavering belief in her ability to rise and inspire.
The Face of Hope Pageant 2026, now in its third edition, will crown Nigeria’s representative to Miss International in Japan. The grand finale is scheduled for April 19, 2026, at the Eko Convention Center in Lagos, with a red carpet commencing at 7 PM.
Official voting is now live on the pageant’s website. Fans and supporters are encouraged to vote for Benedicta Iferike as she seeks to bring the crown to Kano and carry Nigeria’s flag to the global stage in Japan.
