The practice of Public Relations formally started in Nigeria in 1943 as a government department. After Independence, the Department was moved to the emergent Federal Ministry of Information . Dr Sam Epelle, who became the Director of PR at FMI, was instrumental to the formation of the Public Relations Association of Nigeria in 1963. In 1972, PRAN was renamed Nigerian Institute of Public Relations .
Today, more than half of about 270 universities in Nigeria and at least 60 of the polytechnics, monotechnics and allied institutions in Nigeria offer communication studies programmes that include public relations. The practice has also flourished, especially after the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations was chartered in 1990
Suffice it to say that it has been an amazing journey of evolution for public relations and I look forward, very enthusiastically, to a reinforced trajectory for public relations scholarship and practice, especially leveraging technology and data for insight. I therefore raise the banner of ethical and responsible use of Artificial Intelligence in public relations practice in our fast-paced changing world.
