President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has praised the President of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations, Dr. Ike Neliaku, following his successful re election to the Board of the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management for another two year tenure.

Dr. Neliaku secured the fresh mandate during the organisation’s Annual General Meeting in Prague after emerging victorious in a highly competitive election that drew participants from member nations across the world.

Reacting to the development, President Tinubu described the outcome as a clear reflection of the confidence the international public relations community has continued to place in the Nigerian communications expert.

Furthermore, the President noted that the renewed mandate speaks strongly to Neliaku’s leadership capacity, professional credibility, and sustained drive toward promoting ethical communication practice on both local and global fronts.

The remarkable feat, which was shared on the Presidential Villa State House website, was conveyed in a statement issued by the President’s Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga.

In the statement, the President maintained that the re election further projects Nigeria’s increasing relevance within global communication and reputation management circles.

He added that the achievement also highlights the growing recognition Nigerian professionals continue to earn internationally through competence, innovation, and consistent delivery.

Tinubu equally commended the NIPR President for sustaining efforts aimed at deepening professionalism within the public relations industry.

In addition, he acknowledged Neliaku’s contributions toward advancing transparency, strengthening institutional credibility, and encouraging higher standards across communication management practice.

The President also expressed optimism that the renewed tenure would create stronger opportunities for international cooperation, knowledge exchange, and broader professional development within the global public relations ecosystem.

Consequently, he reaffirmed the Federal Government’s readiness to continue supporting initiatives designed to improve Nigeria’s image and reinforce professional excellence on the world stage.

While congratulating the public relations practitioner on the renewed responsibility, Tinubu wished him a productive and successful tenure as he continues representing Nigeria within the international communications community.
