NIPR President Advocates for Leadership Accountability in Abuja

At the Third Raymond Aleogho Dokpesi Annual Diamond Lecture on Communication and Development in Abuja, Dr. Neliaku, President of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), urged for accountable and impactful leadership, emphasizing that leadership should be assessed by the positive differences made rather than positions held. He called for collective support for Nigeria's reputation-building efforts ahead of the World Public Relations Forum.

Dr. Neliaku paid tribute to the late High Chief Raymond Aleogho Dokpesi, founder of DAAR Communications, acknowledging his significant contributions to the broadcasting industry and public relations. He also highlighted the importance of verifying claims and communicating evidence-based information, referencing NIPR's assessment of Imo State Governor Hope Uzodimma's performance.

Additionally, Raymond Dokpesi Jnr. encouraged young Nigerians to engage in democracy and announced a media incubation initiative set for a pre-launch on December 1, 2026, aimed at equipping youth with tools for governance monitoring and election documentation.
