Dear Esteemed Professional Colleagues,
As we step confidently into the year 2026, I extend my warmest wishes to every member of the Lagos State Chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations. The New Year presents us with a renewed opportunity to reflect, to reset and to recommit ourselves to the values that define our noble profession.
The past year was one of purposeful engagement, professional growth and collective achievement for our chapter. Together, we strengthened our voice, upheld ethical standards and reinforced the strategic relevance of Public Relations in shaping trust, credibility and meaningful dialogue within society. These accomplishments were only possible because of your dedication, professionalism and unwavering commitment to excellence.
As we embrace 2026, I encourage us all to look ahead with optimism and professional hope. May this year bring renewed purpose, innovative thinking and greater impact for our practice. Let us continue to raise the bar, deepen collaboration, mentor the next generation of practitioners and position Public Relations as a critical driver of social and economic development in Lagos State and Nigeria at large.
On behalf of the Executive Council, I thank you for your loyalty to the Institute and your contributions to making the Lagos Chapter a leading light within the NIPR family. I am confident that the year ahead holds even greater promise for us as professionals and as a community.
I wish you and your loved ones a prosperous, fulfilling and rewarding New Year.
Happy New Year 2026.
Warm regards,
Samuel Ayetutu, PhD, fnipr, frpa
