whose contributions to the Nigerian economy have been legendary
producing the likes of Mr. Agboarumi who is a valuable product of this
reputable institute’’.

He enjoined all members of NIPR to imbibe and assimilate the code of
ethics of the noble profession as the sustenance of the Nigerian
project largely depends on them noting that PR is an integral aspect
of the world economy as no business can survive without it.



Speaking at the forum, the National President of NIPR, Dr. Rotimi

industry is growing but there is need to support the industry to grow
through aggressive information management’’.

 He  declared that the aviation of tomorrow ‘’should be based on
information management as business can only thrive on accurate
information and  that is why Public Relations cannot be relegated
-NIPR should be a role model”.

Dr. Oladele, appealed to NIPR members in the aviation sector to work
harder and promote integrity, saying that ‘’ modesty is important for
PR personalities. We must build the reputation of Nigeria and all the
Chief Executive Officers in the aviation sector must be part of it’’.
