The 36 Political Elevation Group, Sanity Multi-Efforts Limited, Sanity Multi-Efforts Forum, and Dansavist Multi Concept Limited have congratulated the 12-member interim executive of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations, NIPR, Kogi State Chapter.
The felicitation is contained in a statement by Prince Dan. Olaitan Dada, leader of the Groups.
The statement reads “We commend the emergence of Mr. Ismaila Isah as Interim Chairman, Mr. Tade Oshaloto as Vice Chairman, Mr. Mike Abuh as Secretary, Bishop Aturu as Public Relations Officer, Mr. Yemi Balogun as Treasurer, and all other members of the interim team tasked with reviving professional PR practice in Kogi State after a period of inactivity.”
“Your call for practicing journalists and Public Relations Officers to regularise their status is timely and commendable. As the NIPR President, Dr. Ike Neliaku, has consistently maintained, communication without ethics is manipulation. We align fully with the position that quackery must give way to professionalism, especially as Nigeria navigates critical national challenges that demand trust, truth, and responsible narrative management.
“The interim leadership’s mandate to engage the NIPR National Executive Council and conduct a formal chapter election is a crucial step. We note that preparations are underway for the full reactivation of the Kogi Chapter following the national body’s planned visit. We urge all practitioners in Kogi State to take advantage of the ongoing repositioning and membership waiver to get certified.
We extend special congratulations to Mr. Emmanuel Oluwakorede, a valued member of the new Kogi NIPR, who remains a trusted partner in our online media engagements. His commitment to ethical journalism, balanced reporting, and digital innovation has amplified the voice of reason in Kogi State and beyond. We are proud to call him “Our Main Man behind the drums.”
As stakeholders in governance, business, civic advocacy, and media, we pledge the support of 36 PEG, SMEL, SMEF, and DSMCL to the Kogi NIPR Chapter. We look forward to collaborating on training, ethical campaigns, and public enlightenment as the chapter moves toward full constitution.
Kogi deserves a strong, credible NIPR. With this team, the drums of professionalism will sound again.
Congratulations. The jungle of public discourse needs new lions of integrity.
