‘Nigeria, far from a hopeless state,’ says NIPR
Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) has said that the country has the potential of emerging as foremost nation of the world, contrary to insinuations of the country being a hopeless state.
Chairman, NIPR Integration, Peace and Security Committee, Dr. Ike Neliaku, who disclosed this during a meeting in Abuja, Friday, stated that the quality of views expressed by different partner organisations during the meeting was an indication that Nigeria has all it takes to beat the current travails.
“From the views canvassed, it is clear that our cultural diversity in Nigeria is an asset that could easily produce the foremost African Nation of the world. While we are not saying this is a cheap task, it is definitely something that can be achieved. Most Nigerians are committed to finding lasting solutions towards a peaceful, progressive and prosperous nation,” he said.
Neliaku furtheremphasized that as an Institute responsible for relationship management, the team was determined to ensure that the outcome of the forthcoming NIPR Summit on Integration, Peace and Security will be a game changer for the benefit of the citizens and the youth in particular.
It would be recalled that NIPR on Monday inaugurated a 52-member National Planning Committee to drive citizens-based summit towards finding lasting solutions to various challenges in the country.
