Busoga Tourism Queen Miss Okoobah Shakirah Kadhanah was the First Runners Up finishing second at the inaugural Miss Tourism East Africa held at the weekend. The glamorous event was held on Saturday 12th September at Kampala Marriott Hotel Nsambya.
Shortest among the top six, Shakirah showed her quest for the crown performing well which earned second spot. Representing Uganda and Busoga Region, Shakirah has been a revelation in promoting tourism in the Busoga Region and Uganda as a whole.
“I feel amazing because we were too many girls but I managed to be in that position. Actually I was the shortest in the top 6 but I did not think I would make it surely,” Shakirah told this website.
Busoga Kingdom Minister of Tourism, Heritage and Culture Hon. Hellen Namutumba said the entire region and kingdom are so proud of what Miss Okoobah Shakirah Kadhanah has so far achieved. They have hailed her efforts in promoting the Busoga Region to the world.
Ms Zam Zam Godana from Kenya was Crowned Miss Tourism East Africa and became the first regional tourism queen.
