The event is organized by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management, and the African Public Relations Association (APRA). It is expected to host approximately 3,000 delegates from 126 countries. A primary goal of the forum is to establish the ‘Abuja Declaration on Responsible Communication’, a framework intended to guide the global communication profession for the next decade. The event will also feature the inaugural Nigeria Jollof Rice Festival as part of a corporate social responsibility initiative. The Nigerian Presidency has pledged its support for the forum, which is themed ‘Deepening Responsible Communications’. As the first African nation to host this global event, officials view the forum as an opportunity to showcase Nigerian culture and use responsible communication to address negative international narratives regarding the country. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-20: Nigeria to host 2026 World Public Relations Forum in Abuja Nigeria will host the 2026 Global Alliance World Public Relations Forum in Abuja, expecting 3,000 delegates from 126 countries to discuss responsible communications. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nigeria-to-host-2026-world-public-relations-forum-in-abuja-1 ### 2026-08-17: Nigeria to host 2026 World Public Relations Forum in Abuja Nigeria will host the 2026 World Public Relations Forum in Abuja, aiming to establish a global framework for responsible communication through the Abuja Declaration. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/nigeria-to-host-2026-world-public-relations-forum-in-abuja --- Cite as: Nigeria hosting 2026 World Public Relations Forum.
