The Faculty of Communication and Media Studies at the University of Abuja marked the 2025 World Public Relations Day with a special event themed “Building Bridges and Navigating Polarisation.”
The ceremony, which was held in collaboration with Drawbridge CM Limited, brought together faculty staff, students and industry professionals.
In his presentation, Mr. Hassan Abdul, the General Secretary of the Public Relations Consultants Association of Nigeria (PRCAN) and CEO of Drawbridge CM Limited, emphasised the importance of building bridges in a polarised world especially in a country like Nigeria with multi-ethnic divisions. He urged students and professionals to navigate the differences and foster unity through effective communication. Mr Hassan Abdul concretised that Nigeria can be a better nation if the entire population of over 240million moved in one direction. While stressing this point, he emphasised that one could only imagine the positive trajectory, growth and development the nation would have experienced if we were very much intentional about harnessing the strengths in our diversity.
