Akure, Ondo State – The Chairman of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), Ondo State Chapter, Mr. Funmilayo Ikueduranni, warmly congratulates the Osun State Local Government Information Officers’ Cadre on their elevation to a full-fledged department.
The Chairman said in a release issued by Chapter’s Public Relations Executive, Mrs. Olufunke Asagunla “We commend the Osun State Government for their vision and forthrightness in recognizing the importance of effective information management at the grassroots level,” Mr. Ikueduranni said. “This milestone is a significant step forward in enhancing the capacity of local government information officers to effectively disseminate information, engage with citizens, and promote grassroots development.”
The NIPR Chairman also called on the Ondo State Government to take a cue from this exemplary gesture and grant the long-overdue request of Ondo Local Government Information Officers to establish a similar department. “By approving the department, both local and state governments stand to gain enhanced information spread, improved community engagement, increased transparency, strengthened institutional capacity, and better coordination and synergy between local and state governments,” he emphasized.
Mr. Ikueduranni urged the Ondo State Government to prioritize this request, recognizing the vital role information officers play in fostering good governance and inclusive development.
Once again, we congratulate our colleagues in Osun State on this remarkable feat and look forward to a similar development in Ondo State soon.
