He urged media organizations, including PRNigeria, to offer their support in achieving this goal.

Dr. Ike Neliaku, President of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), seized the opportunity to inaugurate the organizing committee and the jury for the National Spokesperson Awards, scheduled for March 2024.

Recognizing Contributions to Safety and Security

Yushau Shuaib, Managing Director of Image Merchants Promotion Limited and publisher of PRNigeria, Emergency Digest, and Economic Confidential, shed light on the significance of SAEMA in recognizing gallantry contributions to Nigeria’s safety, security, and emergency management. He explained that SAEMA acknowledges outstanding contributions, while the Spokespersons’ Communication Award (SCA) focuses on recognizing exceptional public relations campaigns and communication strategies.

Shuaib revealed that 13 awards would be presented in the SCA category, with an impressive 139 entries received. Moreover, SAEMA has become a reputable name among security agencies, stakeholders, and experts, receiving 171 entries this year. The diligent efforts of the organizers resulted in the identification of two finalists for each of the 16 categories.

The 2023 SAEMA Awards not only celebrated achievements in the realm of security and emergency management but also provided a platform for insightful discussions on the role of artificial intelligence in enhancing national security. With the commitment of government officials and industry leaders, Nigeria appears poised to leverage cutting-edge technologies for socio-economic growth and human capital development. The upcoming National Spokesperson Awards in March 2024 will further recognize and honor outstanding communication efforts, contributing to the overall development and enhancement of Nigeria’s image on the global stage.
