January 07, (THEWILL) – The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations has vowed to weed out quacks in its ranks as from April 1, 2024.
The Director, Public Relations of the institute, Mr Stanley Ogadigo said in Abuja at the weekend that the Governing Council of the body took the decision at its 106th meeting.
He said the organisation would embark on an awareness campaign before the Council’s decision is enforced.
“We want to enforce strict compliance of professionalism and excellence in Public Relations practice in Nigeria. All concerned are by this communication strongly encouraged to take advantage of this new window to conclude their membership process to avoid prosecution of individual culprits and their employers in accordance with the provisions of the NIPR Act,” Ogadigo said, adding that the organisation had set up an Enforcement Committee headed by General Chris Olukoyode (retd.) and state chapter Chairmen to enforce compliance.
