After 6 years of unimaginable search and discoveries of exceptional beautiful damsels that befits the crown of trust, the management and board of the award winning pageant Queen of Trust changes her name to The Nigerian Queen.

In a press briefing held at The Golden Tulip Hotel Port Harcourt on Monday October 26, 2015, the President and CEO of the organization Mr Kelvin Amroma said “We do this; mindful of the fact that the name ‘Queen of trust’ is one that has become a brand and has been so popularized around the globe”, he disclosed that the idea that drives Queen of Trust which is to search and subsequently present to the World, young ladies with exceptional virtue and values through whom the organization can carry out her humanitarian activities; that this same idea equally drives The Nigerian Queen, only that its new name will give the pageant a strong National appeal and ensure all Nigerians have a sense of belonging with the event.

Mr. Kelvin further disclosed that 2 cars will be given to the 2016 winner and 1st runner up of the contest unlike the past editions where just one car was being given to the overall winner, and that it is the dream of the organization that every local government in Nigeria is represented in the contest every year.
