Hamida, in an interview, said she was more than prepared for the world pageant and that she had her project ready to be presented for the Beauty With a Purpose segment of the pageant.
Miss Hamida Hakubu is currently undergoing grooming by Priscilla Asare, the current Miss Tourism Ghana, who would be companying her to the Teen World pageant.
Her clothes are being made by one of Ghana's classic designers, Philipo Inzaghi Collections, with fabrics sponsored by GTP.
“I'm grateful to Philipo Inzaghi, the founder of Miss Teen Ghana and Charlotte Sika Quaigraine, Miss Tourism Ghana 2010, for such a wonderful opportunity,” Hamida noted.
She asked Ghanaians to keep their fingers crossed, saying she wouldn't return empty-handed.
