NIPR Appoints Ex-NNPC Staff as Director of Public Relations

The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has announced the appointment of Mr. Stanley Ogadigo, a former staff of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPC) as its Director of Public Relations.

NIPR in a statement signed by the President of the Institute, Dr. Ike Neliaku said the appointment is part of efforts to repositioning the institute for greater professional value, national relevance and global competitiveness.

Neliaku said “Given the critical nature and quality of projects and services being pursued by the current Governing Council, towards repositioning the Institute for greater value to members, reclaiming the country’s reputational capital and rebuilding citizens trust, we need a reputation building and management expert to drive the communication component. That is why the Governing Council looked at various options and settled for competence, experience and passion as key criteria for approving the appointment of Mr. Stanley Ogadigo for the job”.

Neliaku described the Institute’s new Director of PR as a thorough-bred professional with passion for professionalism and excellence, noting that Mr. Ogadigo has a deep knowledge of the workings of the PR industry and his appointment comes with tremendous sacrifice to both the profession and the institute.

Mr. Ogadigo holds both Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Mass Communication from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, and Kogi State University, respectively.

The new Director of PR is a Fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) and a Fellow, African Public Relations Association (APRA).
