The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has congratulated Dr Omoniyi Ibietan on his re-election as Secretary General of the African Public Relations Association (APRA).
Ibietan was re-elected during the APRA General Assembly held in Swakopmund, Namibia, alongside Mr Arik Karani of Kenya, who was elected President, and Professor Michele Mekeme of Cameroon, who emerged as Vice President.
In a statement issued on Sunday by his Special Assistant on Media, Rabiu Ibrahim, the minister described the re-election as a well-deserved recognition of Ibietan’s professionalism, dedication, and contributions to the public relations profession in Africa.
“On behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria, I congratulate Dr Omoniyi Ibietan on his well-deserved re-election as Secretary General of APRA. This honour is not only a recognition of his professional excellence but also a source of pride for Nigeria and the entire communications community,” Idris said.
The minister expressed confidence that Ibietan would continue to provide purposeful leadership in advancing APRA’s vision and strengthening collaboration across the continent.
Idris also commended APRA for promoting ethical communication across Africa and reaffirmed Nigeria’s readiness to host the 37th APRA Annual Conference alongside the World Public Relations Forum in Abuja later this year.
