The 2025 PR Power List is a prestigious list by GLG Communications in partnership with The Guardian to celebrate 50 of Nigeria’s most influential PR and communications professionals who have shaped narratives and driven meaningful change across industries over the past year.

From trusted veterans to bold innovators redefining the boundaries of the profession, they are powering the evolution of Nigeria’s public relations landscape. The honorees are recognised across four categories: Rising Voices, Changemakers, Community Impact, and Fourth Estate. Each category spotlights a unique dimension of influence within the communications and media space. It is our honour to unveil the 2025 PR Power List.

RISING VOICES
This category celebrates emerging leaders as well as long-time practitioners whose work is now getting the recognition it deserves. Through bold career moves, standout campaigns, or unwavering consistency, they’ve stepped into the spotlight over the past year, bringing fresh energy, creativity, and innovation to the fore.

COMMUNITY IMPACT
Highlights professionals whose work extends beyond corporate objectives to serve communities. Whether through advocacy, non-profit engagement, or storytelling, these nominees are leveraging communications for social good and tangible, real-world change. Most especially, they’re using their platforms to amplify PR & communications, from personal to corporate brands.

CHANGEMAKERS
Individuals who are actively disrupting the norm and driving innovation. They are strategic thinkers, campaign leaders, brand builders, and boundary-pushers shaping the future of PR and communication through bold moves, long-term experience, and measurable impact.

FOURTH ESTATE
Reserved for the powerhouses of media, operating across broadcast (TV & Radio), Digital, and Print. These are influential media voices who help shape public discourse, challenge narratives, and, most importantly, use their work, platforms, and editorial power to speak truth to power. They stand for the people, drive visibility, accurate information, accountability, and impact.
