MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND NATIONAL ORIENTATION COMMENDS NIPR FOR ITS ROLE IN PUBLIC RELATIONS

The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Alhaji Mohammed Idris, has commended the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) for its role in the designation of Public Relations as a cadre in the civil service.

Idris gave the commendation when the President of NIPR, Dr Ike Neliaku and the President of Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management, Justin Green, visited him in Abuja. The visit was to show appreciation to the minister for his support
towards the successful hosting of activities for the 60th anniversary of the NIPR, which held between June 20 and June 27.

The Minister said the Federal Government would continue to provide the needed support for Public Relations practice in Nigeria. According to the minister, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the NIPR and Global Alliance for the establishment of a
degree-awarding institution for Public Relations and Leadership in Nigeria is a welcome development.
