The Lagos State Chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations has unveiled plans for PRFest 2026, a week-long programme scheduled for July, with a focus on security, public trust, and nation-building.
The announcement was made during the chapter’s monthly meeting and PR Clinic held recently at the Eko FM Multipurpose Hall in Ikeja, where executives outlined the objectives and activities of the forthcoming festival.
Chairman of the Lagos State Chapter, Samuel Ayetutu, said the initiative was designed to strengthen professional engagement among communication practitioners while deepening the role of public relations in addressing national challenges.
“Public relations practitioners have a crucial role to play in fostering trust, promoting responsible communication and strengthening the relationship between institutions and the public,” Ayetutu said. “PRFest 2026 will provide a platform for stakeholders to examine these responsibilities and contribute to national development.”
He said the 2026 edition would focus on the intersection of security, nation-building, and public trust, noting that strategic communication had become increasingly important in shaping social cohesion and governance outcomes.
