SwiftTrust Partners with MISS 9JA for N10M Prize

SwiftTrust Microfinance Bank Limited has been appointed the official financial partner for the inaugural MISS 9JA competition, which will culminate in a national finale in Abuja on June 12, 2027. The bank will manage a grand prize of N10,000,000 and oversee the monthly allowance for the winner during her 12-month reign.

The partnership includes providing banking services to contestants and financial literacy training for the 37 State Queens. The grand prize will be held in a designated account until awarded to the winner.

Although contestants can open accounts with SwiftTrust, it is not mandatory for participation or voting in the competition. Adenike Isi Adeeko, Founder and Director of Partnerships at MISS 9JA, emphasized the importance of financial literacy over mere branding.

The competition will crown one Queen from each of Nigeria’s 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, with applications closing on November 30, 2026. Public voting will occur in two rounds, and in-person verification will take place across states from March 8 to April 2, 2027.
