The 22-year-old student, Miss Ramatu Sidic of the Institution of Profesional Studies (IPS) scored a spectacular hat-trick on a platform of beauty contest, winning the awards for the best costume and dance, as well as the ultimate Miss ECOWAS Ghana 2010 crown.
An initiative of Accra-based 702 Productions Limited and supported by the ECOWAS Commission headquartered in Abuja, Nigeria, the Miss ECOWAS pageant is an annual beauty organised for contestants from the 15-member countries of the ECOWAS, as a means of engaging the youth to promote peace in the sub-region.
This year's pageant, themed Peace Building and Development, is geared to spur awareness about the proliferation of illicit small arms in the sub-region and will see two contestants each from the participating countries lock horns to win the ultimate crown as the Miss ECOWAS 2010 Queen.
Whoever emerges the queen also becomes an ambassador to promote peace and champion the Youth Peace Initiatives of the ECOWAS Commission for a period of one year, alongside all the golden opportunities and mouth-watering prize packages.
With Ghana's representation now settled in the pair of Ramatu and Nwangere, all fingers can now remain tightly crossed for the biggest showdown in Sierra Leone when the international finale will take place.
