NIPR Lagos Hosts PR Industry Awards on December 19,
2019
The Lagos State Chapter, the leading and most populated branch
of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations accounting for nearly
60 percent of the communications practitioners in the country,
today announced that the 2019 edition of the Lagos PR Industry Gala
and Awards, themed: PROVATION, will hold at the Grand Ballroom of
the Civic Centre, Lagos on Thursday, December 19, 2019 by 5pm.
The event, popularly known as the LaPRIGA, is the high-profile
red bow-tie event aimed at recognising excellence and celebrating
communications practitioners and stakeholders via awards dinner to
boost professionalism and more investment in the practice.
The LaPRIGA has evolved to become communications industry
Oscars. Honourees are carefully chosen by a Selection Panel made up
of individuals with impeccable character, requite academic
qualification, professional accomplishments and long-time
leadership roles.
Speaking at the press briefing held at the CMC Connect heralding
the event, the Chairman of the Lagos NIPR, Segun McMedal, “LaPRIGA
is adding new colours, new dimensions and new values to the
industry by recognizing best accomplishments in reputation
management, relationship management and support for marketing
functions. Over twenty honourees drawn from public relations
consultancies and the media will cart away the prestigious shield
in different categories. And this year, we are upping the scale to
recognize best communications practices in the organized private
sector and public affairs”.
“The Chapter is also planning to use the joyous occasion for the
installation of the Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Babajide
Sanwo-Olu, as the Patron of the Lagos State Chapter is in line with
the Bye-Law No. 2 of 1992 on the Creation and Administration
guiding the establishment and functioning of State Chapters of NIPR
in all the 36 States of the Federation including the Federal
Capital Territory.”
There will also be a drama skit to amplify the Chapter’s CSR
project, tagged: AutiConnect, aimed at increasing awareness,
acceptance, respect and support for people living with Autism
Spectrum Disorders [ASD].
About 400 leading communications professionals in consultancies,
government, corporate and not-for-profit organisations, captains of
industry including media personalities, academia and C-Suite
executives from across different sectors and industries are
expected to attend.
