After a huge success of the maiden edition of Miss Road Safety, a pageant which seeks to create awareness on the safety of our roads, Functional Keys Limited in collaboration with the National Road Safety Commission (NRSC) are back with the second edition.

The second edition which takes at the National Theatre Friday October 5 will crown one of the ten girls who were selected for the second edition.

From now to October 5, the ten selected contestants need to convince the judges enough to emerge the winner.

At the launch Kwame Koduah Atuahene, Head of Communications at National Road Safety Commission (NRSC) explained that “Ghanaians generally appreciate the arts and applaud their icons. It has been proven to be impacting in other endeavors why not road safety. We are trusting that the pageant will break barriers with her personality to complement other strategic countermeasures”

According to him, the pageant does not only seek to project a personality who will use her influence as an ambassador to boost sponsorships and participation for road safety projects but also to engage critical categories of road users on some of the global best road use practices that can positively impact on road safety in Ghana.

Contestants of this year’s pageant are Zuera Ahmed, Emefa Elsie Nyonator, Louisa Yayra Ziorklui, Joana Boakye, Patience Dowuona Hammond, Bishara Pelpuo Salifu, Gifty Solo, Regina Nana Ekua Asae, Benedicta Mawuenyega and Eudora Animah Andoh who are currently being groomed.

Ms Mariam Naa Abbey, a 26-year old Teaching Assistant of the School of Performing Arts, University of Ghana last year won the maiden edition.
