The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, in Abeokuta said public relations plays a pivotal role in enhancing the image of Nigeria for economic prosperity.
Idris stated this in his address at the opening ceremony of the Nigeria Public Relations Week.
The Minister, who was represented by the Director-General of National Orientation Agency, Lanre Issa-Onilu, noted that through strategic public relations the country could attract investments.
Idris pointed out that recent efforts being made by the Bola Tinubu-led administration to revive the country’s economy and its proactive approach to addressing challenges were promising signposts of progress.
He, however, noted that to realise the country’s vision of a prosperous and respectable nation, the citizens must recognise the indispensable value of strategic public relations.
