For a quarter of a century, the NECCI PR Roundtable has stood as one of Nigeria’s most respected forums for public relations and communications professionals — a space where the evolving relationship between reputation, governance, and public trust is dissected with depth and foresight. This year, the landmark 25th edition will once again bring together leaders and thinkers to reflect on the past, engage with the present, and chart the future of ethical communication.

Set to hold this Thursday at the prestigious Eko Hotel & Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos, the event will not only explore the future of public relations, media, and communication but also celebrate 25 years of NECCI’s unwavering commitment to ethical practice and strategic dialogue in the industry.

Organised by NECCI Limited, this year’s theme — “The Ethics of Governance: Shaping Reputation Through Public Relations” — speaks directly to the intersection of integrity, leadership, and perception. The discussion will bring together industry giants, policymakers, communication strategists, and thought leaders to examine how ethics form the backbone of sustainable reputations, both in the public and private sectors.

According to the organisers, the conversation will extend beyond traditional media spaces into boardrooms and policy arenas, exploring how trust and transparency can redefine governance narratives. In a world where scrutiny of corporate and public conduct is intensifying, this year’s forum aims to inspire practitioners to view ethical communication as not just a professional obligation but a strategic advantage.

Dr. Nkechi Ali-Balogun, founder and convener of the NECCI PR Roundtable, described the silver jubilee edition as “a celebration of vision, purpose, and impact.” She remarked, “We’re celebrating 25 incredible years of shaping conversations, building reputation, and promoting ethical communication. Join us for this milestone edition — it’s more than an event, it’s a movement toward the future of our industry.”

She further urged PR professionals to seize the opportunity to engage in discussions that will define the next phase of communication practice in Nigeria. “This is your chance to be in the room where the future of PR, media, and communication is shaped,” she added.

The NECCI PR Roundtable invites senior PR professionals, media strategists, policymakers, and grassroots communicators to participate in what promises to be an inspiring and thought-provoking forum. With limited seating and a tradition of insightful exchange, the event remains a beacon for those committed to advancing the ethics and excellence of public relations in Nigeria.

Founded in 2009 by NECCI Limited, the NECCI PR Roundtable continues to serve as a premier platform for Nigerian PR practitioners to converge, share insights, and influence the evolving standards of communication across sectors. This 25th edition not only commemorates its legacy but also reaffirms its mission — to keep shaping conversations that matter.
