NIPR Decribes 2026 as Golden Global Opportunity for Nigeria, Tasks FG on WPRF
The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has said that 2026 is a golden global opportunity for Nigeria to showcase its rich cultural heritage and redefine the nation's reputation as it hosts the World Public Relations Forum this year in Abuja.
NIPR President, Dr. Ike Neliaku, while wishing Nigerians a prosperous new year stated that a global gathering of 126 countries with Presidents, Ministers, leaders of Public Relations Associations and top advisers to governments of various nations expected to be in attendance is a big deal that the country can take advantage of to gain global relevance.
In his new message made available to the media through the Institute’s Director of Public Relations, Mr. Stanley Ogadigo today in Abuja, the President informed that the Institute in the last nine months upon winning the hosting right of the global event for the nation has been working with various stakeholders within and outside the country to deliver for Nigeria, the greatest reputation project.
"For us at the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), this represents hope for the country, provides a lifetime opportunity to redefine the reputation of Nigeria, and holds great prospects in turning around the economy of the nation" Dr. Neliaku said.
While calling on the Federal Government, leadership of Sub-nationals, corporate organisations and all stakeholders to invest in the programme, the NIPR boss stressed that WPRF presents robust platform for Nigeria to tell its story of greatness and reverse the current growing negative perception.
