He urged the Minister to establish communication channels between the government and the people and offered the support of NIPR in achieving his goals.

    “As a member of the Institute, we believe you will deploy your decency for which you are legendary, your honesty, and your skills as a public relations practitioner to change the narrative.”

    During the visit, the delegation presented the report of the 2022 Summit of the Institute titled “Rebooting Nigeria 2.0” to the Honourable Minister and urged him to support its implementation.
