From Maryam Ahmadu-Suka, KadunaThe Governing Council of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), led by its President, Dr. Ike Neliaku, alongside members of the Local Organising Committee has formally presented the hosting flag to the governor of Kaduna state, Malam Uba Sani for the NIPR week slated for April. Recieving the flag, governor Sani said, “The state’s selection as host of the 2026 NIPR week is both a mark of distinction and a call to thoughtful stewardship. “The theme of the NIPR week, “Food Security: From Policy Papers to Public Plates – The Public Relations Imperatives,” captures a defining national priority and resonates strongly with our administration’s determination to confront poverty, unemployment, and insecurity through resilient and inclusive food systems. “The council outlined a rich and intellectually purposeful programme, featuring the Institute’s Annual General Meeting, strategic media engagements, an executive roundtable on food security, fellowship inductions, capacity-building sessions, and guided project tours. “I reaffirmed Kaduna state’s readiness to host an event of the highest professional and organisational standard, while highlighting our strategic investments in agriculture and food security.
