The Company emerged as winner at the award ceremony held in
Lagos last week. This year’s edition, which was the 8th, was dubbed The Game
Changers.
The LaPRIGA is a prestigious high profile award that
recognises excellence and celebrates practitioners in public and corporate
organisations as well as stakeholders to boost professionalism and more
investment in the practice. The Awards have evolved to become the
Communications Industry Oscars, adding new colours, dimensions and values by
recognising best accomplishments in reputation management, relationship
management and support for marketing functions.
Established in 1963 and Chartered in 1990, the Nigerian
Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) is the non-government, not-for-profit
professional association of Public Relations practitioners charged to determine
the standards of knowledge and skills needed to be attained by persons seeking
to become registered members of the PR profession and reviewing same standards
from time to time, as circumstances may permit, as enshrined in the Act of
Parliament.
The Lagos State Chapter (Lagos NIPR) is the leading and most
populated branch of the Institute accounting for nearly 60 per cent of the
communications practitioners in the country.
Speaking at the ceremony, the chairman Lagos NIPR, Comfort
Obot Nwankwo said: “The Lagos NIPR has a rich history of celebrating excellence
and professionalism; of which this year’s award spotlight is on ‘Game Changers’
who have excelled in their fields of endeavour. For us, we will continue to
celebrate ingenious contributions to the communications ecosystem propelled by
innovation and creativity.”
In her remarks, the director, External Affairs and Social
Performance at Seplat Energy Plc, Chioma Afe, congratulated the NIPR for its
consistency over the years in celebrating innovation, excellence and
professionalism in the country’s public and private sectors.
Afe added: “At Seplat Energy, our reputation is our
currency. We are leading Nigeria’s energy transition with accessible,
affordable and reliable energy that drives social and economic prosperity for
all stakeholders; and our commitment to this is unwavering.”
Seplat Energy was represented at the 2023 LaPRIGA by the
base manager, Western Assets, Emmanuel Otokhine; and manager, corporate
communications, Stanley Opara.
As a strong testament to its reputation, Seplat Energy had
consistently over the years maintained an international board, best-practice
structures, uncompromising accountability, ethics and excellence, which are the
hallmarks of the company’s essence.
