  • PRSK Receives NIPR President with Pomp and Pageantry. 💐 The Public Relations Society of Kenya (PRSK) rolled out the red carpet earlier this week as it received the President of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations, Dr. Ike Neliaku who was in Kenya on a momentous working visit to PRSK. Dr. Neliaku was warmly received by Arik Karani President of PRSK and President of the African Public Relations Association (APRA). Karani and Neliaku's discussions centered on strengthening ties between the NIPR, PRSK, and APRA, and to explore impactful collaborations that will shape the future of public relations in Africa. A key highlight of the visit was a discussion of ongoing collaboration between APRA and PRSK towards a successful hosting of the 36th APRA annual conference in Mombasa later this year, a milestone event where APRA will commemorate the 50th anniversary of its founding. As leaders of a great profession, the two men's shared vision promises to elevate the practice of public relations, foster meaningful partnerships, and advance the narrative of Africa’s growth and excellence on the global stage.
