In a bid to fill the gap in the public relations practice, the London School of PR (LSPR) Nigeria has berthed. It will offer a variety of courses including fundamentals of public relations and other courses that are focused on brand building, reputation and risk management.

World-class trainers from Europe, the USA and Nigeria will deliver the courses at specially discounted prices.
 
Founder, Professor John Dalton LSPR, said, “we’re delighted that this initiative has finally come to fruition. We believe this will be a success in Nigeria given her position in terms of GDP, economic growth and educated workforce. We already have a successful operation in Ghana and expect even more from Nigeria.”
   
LSPR Nigeria, headed by Charles Edosomwan, said, “I’m excited to be leading LSPR in Nigeria and looking forward to delivering our first courses next month. We have a team of excellent trainers, experienced in both the virtual and the traditional classroom environments. The PR Landscape in Nigeria suffers from competency and standard issues especially with regards to professionalism and barrier to entry.”

We have the support of local business leaders and academia to ensure that professionals and business people in Nigeria can have access to world-class training.”
   
LSPR Nigeria will be an excellent approach to the growth and development of the industry in the country. PR is considered a highly desirable career option but lacks reputable institutions locally offering accredited courses. LSPR Nigeria will deliver practical and thought-provoking training initially virtually and later in the traditional classroom environment in Lagos and Abuja. Port Harcourt will follow in 2023.
