Her words: “Over 25 honourees from public relations consultancies, practitioners, stakeholders and the media will smile away with the prestigious LaPRIGA Figurine in different categories. Nominees are voted for by members of the Institute”.
Nwankwo averred that LaPRIGA has consistently recognised corporate organisations for their extraordinary acts of giving, sharing and loving which has made a demonstrable difference in host communities and in the lives of specific persons.
“These prizes are administered by the Advisory Board of LaPRIGA made up of individuals with impeccable character and requisite academic and professional accomplishments”, she added.
The Chairman also informed that the Chapter annually sets aside a percentage of proceeds from the event to support a CSR initiative tagged “Extra Mile Project’, in support of people living with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
