I thank the NIPR Lagos State chapter for giving me this recognition amongst thousands of Public Relations practitioners in Nigeria as the very best for the year; it is not something to be taken for granted. It is a big honour for me; but beyond the honour is the fact that I see this as an invitation for me to do more and I commit myself to that.”
