NIPR Prepares for World Public Relations Forum in Abuja

The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) is preparing to host the World Public Relations Forum from November 15 to 21, 2026, in Abuja. At the September General Meeting of the NIPR, FCT Chapter, Green emphasized the forum's role in addressing misconceptions about Nigeria and presenting the country to an international audience.

He noted that Nigeria was selected to host the event after previous resistance to bringing the global forum to Africa. NIPR President Dr Ike Neliaku stated that the forum would help project Nigeria’s culture, identity, and reputation on a global scale.

Fellow Stanley Ogadigo, Chairman of the NIPR FCT Chapter, mentioned ongoing preparations with relevant stakeholders and urged members to participate actively. Fellow Basil Okoye announced a roadshow scheduled for October 3, involving various groups, while Mr Ifeanyi Nnadi revealed plans for training hotel managers on security and customer service for the expected delegates, benefiting 80 to 100 hotels.
