The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), on Monday appealed to the Jigawa Government to assist in establishing its branch in the State.
The Chairman of the institute for Kano and Jigawa, Malam Sule Ya’u, made the appeal when he paid a courtesy visit to Gov. Sule Lamido in Dutse.
Ya’u said it was disheartening that NIPR had no branch in the state, but that they had concluded plans to inaugurate the institute there.
He said they were in the state to seek the government’s assistance toward the establishment of the organisation in the state.
“We want to collaborate with you to mobilise all the local governments, ministries and agencies’ public relations officers to join the body’’, he said.
The chairman said NIPR was an organisation that had impetus to ensure or boost good governance in any society.
He noted that the institute had important role to play and bring positive change to organisations, government and the community.
“As public relations practitioners, we have a patriotic duty to use our tool-kits and provide a road map out of the nation’s problems of insecurity, unemployment, and militancy, among others.
“We can play an important role to bring a new beginning for Nigeria”, he said.
In his remarks, Lamido thanked the delegation for the visit and pledged to assist the institute to ensure good administration/governance
