The other contestants were Angela Effum and Matilda Hammond.
Jennifer, who placed second in the Miss Ghana 2006 contest, has also modeled a bit in Ghana and so she isn’t new to the world of beauty and glam. The excited winner says she would love to use her voice and new status to support the needy in society and to spell out the importance of education particularly for the girl-child. “I’m expecting to put Ghana on the map and to do very well. So people would know that Ghana is not only a land of gold and timber but also a land of great beauties”, comments Jennifer.
The producers of the Miss Universe Ghana stated, “After weeks of scouting by our scouting and Public Relations professionals from Jon Williams, we are excited to present a remarkable Ghanaian woman, who we are confident, will make a bold statement for Ghana at the international event.
