NIPR Endorses Female Advocacy for Inter-Ethnic Relations
The President, Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Mallam Mukhtar Sirajo has endorsed the Female-led Advocacy for Inter-ethnic Relations (FAIRER) Campaign aimed at preaching the gospel of peace and unity in Nigeria.
The endorsement was made when members of FAIRER paid him a courtesy call at NIPR Headquarters in Abuja.
The team leader of FAIRER, Zubaida Baba Ibrahim during her remarks said that security and communication are very key to their campaign and find it necessary to partner with NIPR towards the goal.
She said most of them members who are graduate of Mass Communication would also like to join the institute as members.
“FAIRER is advocating for security through effective communication because when citizens don’t have peace of mind within themselves, peaceful coexistence can’t be achieved.”
Mr. Sirajo who commended the young female advocates for embarking on the laudable initiative said that there is desperate need for collaboration from stakeholders across various ethnic groups towards maintaining peace and stability in the country.
