LAGOS – NIGERIA – July 16, 2021. Policy makers should adopt the strategic PR tools of Trust building and Dialogue as a veritable tool for solving the insecurity challenges in Nigeria.
This was the position of Lagos Chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) in commemoration of the World PR Day, on Friday July 16, 2021.
As the profession promoting shared understanding, Lagos NIPR believes that the right application of the tactics and components of the profession will promote dialogue and trust among the different warring factions in the country.
