Akosua Arhin was crowned the winner of Miss Malaika 2025 in a spectacular finale that took place last night, November 22, at the National Theatre in Accra.
The 23-year-old student from the University of Ghana beat competition from nine other talented finalists, securing the coveted title, a brand-new car, a scholarship, and the ambassadorship role for the prestigious beauty pageant.
The 2025 edition of Miss Malaika, themed “Defining the Future“, drew a sold-out audience and was distinguished by the high academic and social impact calibre of the finalists.
Miss Malaika 2025 winner Akosua Arhin took home a brand-new KIA Pegas saloon car for winning the prestigious beauty pageant.
She also received a cash prize package estimated to be over GHS 20,000 and a full scholarship for postgraduate studies, highlighting the pageant’s commitment to empowerment through education.
Akosua’s winning edge was her commitment to a practical social intervention project dubbed the “4E Initiative: Empowering Youth Through Enterprise and Education”.
During the Intellectual Round, she presented data showing that while Ghana’s official unemployment rate stands around 13.4% (according to the Ghana Statistical Service, 2025 Q2 data), the figure for youth (aged 15-35) in urban areas often exceeds 25%.
Her 4E plan involves establishing skills training hubs focused on vocational and digital expertise, aiming to train 500 young women in the Greater Accra and Ashanti regions within her year of reign.
