Nigeria’s Food Security: From Policy Paper to Public Plates – The Imperatives of Public Relations

Nigeria Public Relations Week (NPRW) is the flagship national event of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), created to drive strategic dialogue and promote sustainable national development. Rebranded in 2024 from the NIPR Annual Conference and Annual General Meeting, NPRW convenes leaders from government, business, academia, civil society, and the media to address issues of national importance through strategic communication.

Hosted annually in partnership with state governments, Nigeria Public Relations Week rotates across the country, fostering national inclusion, collaboration, and shared ownership of critical conversations that shape Nigeria’s future.
