NIPR Defends FG's $9M US Lobbying Deal Amid Criticism

The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) defended the Federal Government's decision to engage in a $9 million US lobbying deal, stating it falls within legitimate public relations practices. NIPR President Dr. Ik Neliaku clarified this stance amidst sustained criticism from opposition parties and civil society groups.
