You may recall that Regina Askia is an alumni of University of Lagos (UNILAG) and was crowned “Miss Unilag”, in 1988. The following year, she contested for the Most Beautiful Girl In Nigeria Pageant, although she was the crowd’s favourite, she placed second. However following the resignation of the winner Bianca Onoh, Askia, became the title holder.

Tessa, is definitely stunning, just like her mom. She’s going to be a big pageant beauty queen one day!
