“Whenever you have a spokesperson who is not properly trained or who shouldn’t be there, talking about his organization or the government entity he represents, then there is a big challenge. That is why this effort by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) to address that is very critical. It is also part of the vision of President Bola Tinubu to see that the correct narratives come out of Nigeria, without which the shared prosperity the President is campaigning for will not happen”, he said.
