* Distinguished Franca Adiza  Afegbua the late elegant  Nigerian beautician and politician who died on the 12th March 2023 is set to be given a burial meant for royalty's

The Humanitarian and politician who  represented Bendel North in the Nigerian Senate in 1983 and . Elected as a National Party of Nigeria (NPN) senator, she was the first elected woman senator in Nigeria.



Her party was in opposition and the incumbent governor and senator were respected men in the community. But Afegbua, who had won an international hairstyling competition in 1977, strategized that wooing more women to vote could give her a victory. Her victory in the hairstyling competition had made her name popular within her Etsako community; she targeted women voters, and, as her campaign gained steam, it was too late to curb. She won a slim victory in the August election, defeating John Umolu.
