By The People’s Voice Nigeria News
The Nigeria Reputation Management Group (NRMG) has announced the inaugural Nigeria Reputation Summit 2026, set to take place on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua Centre, Abuja. The summit will convene leaders from government, business, and civil society to advance conversations on rebuilding Nigeria’s national reputation.
The summit will feature a keynote address by former Lagos State Governor and two-term Federal Minister, His Excellency Babatunde Raji Fashola, SAN, under the theme “Better Nigeria, Better Reputation.” The address will focus on the critical role of leadership, governance, and institutional consistency in shaping Nigeria’s perception both locally and globally.
A special interactive session, “The Power of Youth, Technology & Creativity in Rebuilding Nigeria’s Reputation,” will spotlight young Nigerians and explore how innovation, digital platforms, and the creative economy can project a positive and authentic national image. Honourable Ministers responsible for Youth Development, Technology & Innovation, and Creative Economy & Tourism are expected to participate as speakers.
Convened by NRMG, a private-sector initiative of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), the summit aims to harness the drivers that shape Nigeria’s reputation and promote coordinated efforts to influence narratives, behaviors, and national consciousness positively.
Speaking on the summit, NRMG Chairman Yomi Badejo-Okusanya, fnipr, said:
“A nation’s reputation is not built by chance. It is shaped by leadership, institutions, citizens, and the stories we tell through our actions. The Nigeria Reputation Summit provides a platform to align these forces and take responsibility for how Nigeria is seen and experienced.”
Designed as an annual convening, the summit will bring together stakeholders across sectors to chart actionable strategies, track progress, and foster collaboration in support of a stronger and globally respected national reputation.
