The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations and the Nigerian Tourism Development Authority have officially launched the World Public Relations Forum 2026 Technical Committee at the NTDA headquarters with a singular mandate aimed at showcasing destinations within the FCT.
Following a successful inauguration ceremony hosted by the Director General of NTDA, Mr. Ola Awakan and the President/Chairman of Council (NIPR), Dr. Ike Neliaku in Abuja, the charge was simple and straightforward; thrill guests with major tourism offerings in Abuja and environs.
This collaborative effort brings together professionals from both outfits dedicated to enhancing Nigeria’s global image through tourism and entertainment initiatives amongst other PR programs.
