President Muhammadu Buhari nationwide anti-corruption campaign is surely on course, President, Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Dr. Rotimi Oladele has said.
He said during Sam Epelle NIPR lecture, Thursday in Abuja that the campaign became significant to revive image of the country and promote accountability.
Oladele said;”It will interest you to know that NIPR started this change before President Muhammadu Buhari’s administration.
“We launched an ethical revolution. We saw it that we cannot continue this way and the revolution started from within. That is when we started re-certification to ensure that no quack practice this profession.
“So Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign is on course. There are other approaches such as preventive and creative measures.”
He added during the induction ceremony that the annual memorial lecture was organised to honour NIPR pioneer President, Dr. Sam Epelle and to impact the country positively.
He stated that the lecture titled, ‘Effective Communication as a Tool to Drive Nigeria’s Reputation’ became vital to the nation’s continuous change.
Oladele advised media and public relations practitioners to work in synergy to rebuild image and reputation of the country.
He called for diversification of the economy to agriculture, thereby focusing peoples’ consciousness to farming all through the year.
