KIRUHURA - President Yoweri Museveni has hailed Quinn Abenakyo, for promoting Uganda and Africa respectively and for reasserting her African identity.

"I congratulate you for this achievement and for promoting Uganda and Africa respectively," the President said.

Abenakyo is Uganda's newly crowned model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Uganda 2018. She represented Uganda at Miss World 2018 in China and was crowned Miss World Africa 2018.

Museveni together with the First Lady and minister of education and sports, Janet Kataha Museveni, last evening hosted Abenakyo to a dinner at their country home in Rwakitura, Kiruhura district.

 

Abenakyo was accompanied to the dinner by a government delegation led by the tourism state minister, Godfrey Kiwanda Ssubi, Uganda Tourism Board chairman, Daudi Migereko, her parents Charles Sembera and Alice Kyamulesire, close relatives and Miss Uganda Foundation's Brenda Nanyonjo.

Museveni said that he was happy that Quinn Abenakyo had re-asserted her African identity when this time round she had her natural hair contrary to when she visited him recently at State House Entebbe.

"I congratulate Miss Africa for re-asserting her African identity in the form of her hair being natural because there is nothing to add on or subtract on the African beauties, God made it and there is nothing to add or subtract," he said.

 

Abenakyo presented to the President a medal and trophy that she won when she came third runner-up.

She completed her bachelor's degree in Business Computing at Makerere University Business School this year before represented Uganda at the 68th Miss World, the world's oldest running international beauty pageant.

The 22-year-old charmed judges and viewers worldwide when she talked about her support for the girl child in her project "Fighting Teenage Pregnancies".
