- 18:36and fellows of the institute, colleagues
- 18:38in the public relations and
- 18:40communications profession,
- 18:42gentlemen of the press, ladies and
- 18:44gentlemen,
- 18:46it is my great pleasure to welcome you
- 18:48all to the 26th edition of the PR table.
- 18:5426 years ago, we started this trans
- 18:57conviction that public relations
- 19:00professionals must not only manage
- 19:02messages,
- 19:04but they must also lead the national
- 19:06discourse.
- 19:09That we are gathered here again for the
- 19:1126th time is a testimony to your loyalty
- 19:16and I thank every one of you for keeping
- 19:19faith with us.
- 19:21This year we confront a question that
- 19:25touches every one of us. When machine
- 19:29decides
- 19:30what we see,
- 19:33who is really shaping the Nigerian mind?
- 19:37Who now controls the flow of information
- 19:40that shapes what Nigerians believe?
- 19:45We live in a rapidly changing world
- 19:47powered by AI
- 19:49where a single algorithm can shape
- 19:52political narratives,
- 19:5412 conspiracy theories and dictates what
- 19:58leaders read, believe and share way
- 20:02before journalists or professionals can
- 20:04intervene.
- 20:06Artificial intelligence is no longer a
- 20:09me content spreading misinformation
- 20:13and creating echo chambers. From the
- 20:16rise of deep fakes and synthetic media
- 20:20to the viral spread of misinformation
- 20:23across digital platforms, public
- 20:26relations as a profession is being
- 20:28tested like never before.
- 20:31The tools have changed.
- 20:34The seed has changed.
- 20:36The states have changed and so has
- 20:42much of the power lost by editors and
- 20:45communicators
- 20:47has passed to algorithms.
- 20:49Artificial intelligence can now a
- 20:52familiar voice or produce a video of a
- 20:57leader saying what he never said.
- 21:00and a false can travel around the
- 21:03country before the truth has been
- 21:06drafted. For a profession whose currency
- 21:10credibility, this is not a distant
- 21:14technical debate. As our nation
- 21:17approaches another electoral cycle, the
- 21:21integrity of the information our people
- 21:23receive is inseparable from the
- 21:27integrity of our democracy.
- 21:30I am confident that our keynote speaker
- 21:35and our distinguished panelist will help
- 21:38us move from concern to concrete
- 21:42comments. I urge you to participate
- 21:46fully and ask the difficult questions.
- 21:50Ladies and gentlemen, the need for
- 21:53spaces where Nigerians are listening
- 21:55together
- 21:56and based on facts has never greater.
- 22:00Unfortunately, it is becoming more
- 22:03difficult to convene a gathering of this
- 22:06nature as the cost of hosting an event
- 22:10of this standard has risen sharply in
- 22:12recent times. This is why I must once
- 22:15again appreciate our sponsors as well as
- 22:19our media partners.
- 22:22You have not merely funded an event, you
- 22:25have invested in the health of our
- 22:26public sphere. will remain intact to
- 22:29you. For 26 years, the next table has
- 22:34remained an independent platform and we
- 22:37have been known to deliver our promises.
- 22:40To sustain that standard, we need more
- 22:42partners who share our vision. I
- 22:45therefore appeal to the corporate
- 22:47organizations,
- 22:48government agencies, financial
- 22:51institutions and development partners
- 22:53represented here today to come and
- 22:56partner with us. I ask you would be glad
- 22:59to begin that conversation with you at
- 23:01the end of today's session ahead of the
- 23:0427th edition. The service ladies and
- 23:07gentlemen, the algorithms will not wait
- 23:11for us to make up our minds. Let us
- 23:14engage boldly, listen generously and
- 23:18live here as defenders of the truth
- 23:22determined to protect the integrity of
- 23:24information on which our democracy
- 23:27defense. Once again,
- 23:31you are all welcome to the 26th edition
- 23:33of the program. I wish you all fruitful
- 23:37deliverations. Thank you and God bless
- 23:40you. [applause]
- 23:41Before
- 23:44I hand over my German page, I forgot my
- 23:49signature.
- 23:51All glory must be to the Lord.
- 23:56For he is worthy of my praise.
- 24:04On earth
- 24:06should give glory to himself.
- 24:11My glory [music]
- 24:13was
- 24:15to the Lord. [music]

- 1:22:13saw the
- 1:23:05It's not bad.
- 1:23:11What about

- 1:23:54She is the Nigerian economic policy
- 1:23:57expert and advocate for transparency.
- 1:24:07Please bring that video.
- 1:24:10>> Before she became known as madame due
- 1:24:12process, Obiagi is had already built her
- 1:24:16life around one conviction. [music]
- 1:24:18Institutions should work and power
- 1:24:21should be accountable. Her preparation
- 1:24:24was rigorous. She studied business
- 1:24:26education at the University of Nigeria,
- 1:24:29Nsuka, earned a master's degree in
- 1:24:31international law and diplomacy from the
- 1:24:33University of Lagos and later a master's
- 1:24:36in public policy and administration from
- 1:24:39Harvard Kennedy School. She also
- 1:24:41qualified as a chartered accountant. She
- 1:24:43began her professional career in audit
- 1:24:45and consulting at [music] Deote and
- 1:24:47Touch before becoming a founding
- 1:24:49director of Transparency International
- 1:24:51and later its director [music] for
- 1:24:53Africa. Then came public service under
- 1:24:57President Olusun Obasonjjo. She led
- 1:24:59Nigeria's budget monitoring and price
- 1:25:01intelligence unit, the due process
- 1:25:03office, pushing a new culture of
- 1:25:06transparency, competition, and
- 1:25:08accountability [music]
- 1:25:09in public procurement. Her insistence on
- 1:25:11doing things differently earned her a
- 1:25:13name Nigerians would remember, Madame
- 1:25:16Due Process. She later served as
- 1:25:19Minister of Solid Minerals Development
- 1:25:20[music]
- 1:25:21and then Minister of Education. And in
- 1:25:242007, another chapter opened. [music]
- 1:25:27The World Bank appointed her vice
- 1:25:29president for the Africa region,
- 1:25:31overseeing development work across 47
- 1:25:33[music] subsaharan African countries.
- 1:25:36But public office was never the end of
- 1:25:38the story. In 2014, she became one of
- 1:25:41the defining voices of the # bringback
- 1:25:44our girls movement, [music]
- 1:25:45helping turn the abduction of the
- 1:25:47Chibbach school girls into a global
- 1:25:49demand for action. She would go on to
- 1:25:52build new platforms around the same
- 1:25:54questions that had followed her career.
- 1:25:56Politics, governance, education, and
- 1:25:58human capital [music]
- 1:26:00through initiatives including #fix
- 1:26:02politics, the school of politics, policy
- 1:26:05and governance and human capital Africa.
- 1:26:08Across more than three decades, the
- 1:26:10thread has remained remarkably
- 1:26:12consistent. Transparency,
- 1:26:14accountability, institutions, citizens.
- 1:26:18In 2025, [music]
- 1:26:20that body of work was recognized with
- 1:26:22the Shik Tamin bin Hammad Althani
- 1:26:24International Anti-Corruption Excellence
- 1:26:26Award for Lifetime or Outstanding
- 1:26:29Achievement. From public procurement
- 1:26:31reform in Abuja [music] to education
- 1:26:33reform to development leadership across
- 1:26:35Africa, Obi is work has returned again
- 1:26:39and again to one question. How do we
- 1:26:42build systems people can trust? And
- 1:26:44beyond the offices, institutions,
- 1:26:47movements and global stages, she is also
- 1:26:50a wife to pastor Chinedu Ezekieli
- 1:26:52[music] and a mother of three sons,
