The History Of Public Relations In Nigeria By Dominic Nwelih by tick01: 11:13am On Dec 06, 2017
The history of PR, Public Relations in Nigeria dates back to the years which preceded the Second World War. 


During this period  unfavourable policies of the  British Colonial Government had to a large extent strained relations between it and Nigerians.


This continued until 1943 during the Second World War, when the colonial government deemed it necessary to institute its own Public Relations practise - with a view to keep the public informed about developments at the warfront - since Nigerians had also been recruited  into the battle field.  


Dubbed: War Information Office, the organization was also saddled with the responsibility of ensuring dissemination of favorable news  narratives about the colonial government and its policies.
