According to Neliaku, the achievement is an evidence of visible value that public relations offers are advancing the frontiers of excellence in leadership and governance across sectors.
He expressed delight that members of NIPR at leadership positions are placing the country on the map of honour at the global stage through deployment of Public Relations strategies in solving organisational issues and challenges.
“As a professional body, the NIPR is deeply delighted with your election as the chairperson of the WCO, making history as the first Nigerian to occupy such influential position since its creation with 185 member states.
“This highlights the role of strategic communication in raising the bar of excellence in leadership and a clear indication that public relations has become a leadership function,” he stated.
Neliaku expressed optimism that Adeniyi’s tenure would introduce innovations that would bring about transformative reforms in the global customs administration, especially in effectively communicating activities of WCO to the global community.
It would be recalled that Adeniyi was recently appointed as Vice Chairman, Advisory Board of the Nigeria Reputation Management Group (NRMG), an initiative of the NIPR.
