Ishola Ayodele Wins PR Scholar/Author Award
The Spokespersons Digest has announced Ishola Ayodele as the winner of the PR Scholar/Author Award at its maiden edition of The Spokesperson Awards (TSA) 2020.
The Chairman of the Panel of Judges, Dr. Sule Yau Sule, who announced the winner said the award process was a product of a rigorous, painstaking, and highly competitive exercise by a committee of seasoned communication scholars, PR specialists, and public communicators.
The Committee includes Dr Saudat Baki of the University of Ilorin; Peter Oyeneye, a Fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations; Kabir Alabi Garba, an Editor with the Guardian Newspaper; Josie Mudathir, a seasoned public communicator; and Samuel Adeyemi, a quintessential media strategist.
According to the organiser of the award, the PR Scholar/Author Award is designed to honour PR Scholar/Author who has significantly contributed the most to the frontier of knowledge in the PR Industry.
The organiser stressed that Ishola Ayodele (The Prof, as he is fondly called by his friends & associates) was recognised for his immense contributions toward expanding the frontier of knowledge in the PR industry through his books, articles (many of which have been published on this media) & knowledge sharing on the School of impactful Communication (TSIC).
In 2019, Ayodele won the coveted People’s Award for the Most Outstanding/Influencer PR Award at the LapriGa. This means that the winning of the PR Scholar/Author is another feather added to his hat.
Meanwhile, the School of Impactful Communication (TSIC) which Ayodele is the Dean, was also adjudged the second-best “KNOWLEDGE DEVELOPMENT HUB” in Nigeria for 2020.
