The President and Chairman-in-council of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Dr. Ike Neliaku, will deliver the keynote address at the fifth edition of the PR Power List Soirée and Awards, scheduled to hold on July 17, 2026, in Ikoyi, Lagos.
Dr. Neliaku, who also serves as a Board Member of the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management, is expected to share insights on the evolving role of public relations as a strategic tool for reputation management, governance, leadership and nation-building.
The event will examine the 2026 World PR Day global theme, “The Golden Age of Strategic Public Relations,” bringing together public relations professionals, corporate executives, policymakers and industry stakeholders to discuss emerging trends, innovation and the growing influence of strategic communication in shaping organisations and society.
According to the organisers, the keynote address will set the tone for an evening of thought leadership, meaningful dialogue and industry recognition, while reinforcing the importance of public relations in driving sustainable business growth, strengthening institutional trust and supporting national development.
The PR Power List Soirée and Awards has become an annual platform for celebrating excellence within Nigeria’s public relations and communications industry, recognising outstanding professionals and organisations that have made significant contributions to the practice.
This year’s edition is expected to attract leading practitioners, business executives and communication leaders from across the country for networking, knowledge exchange and the celebration of excellence in the profession.
