  320. 18:42gentlemen of the press, ladies and
  321. 18:44gentlemen,
  322. 18:46it is my great pleasure to welcome you
  323. 18:48all to the 26th edition of the PR table.
  324. 18:5426 years ago, we started this trans
  325. 18:57conviction that public relations
  326. 19:00professionals must not only manage
  327. 19:02messages,
  328. 19:04but they must also lead the national
  329. 19:06discourse.
  330. 19:09That we are gathered here again for the
  331. 19:1126th time is a testimony to your loyalty
  332. 19:16and I thank every one of you for keeping
  333. 19:19faith with us.
  334. 19:21This year we confront a question that
  335. 19:25touches every one of us. When machine
  336. 19:29decides
  337. 19:30what we see,
  338. 19:33who is really shaping the Nigerian mind?
  339. 19:37Who now controls the flow of information
  340. 19:40that shapes what Nigerians believe?
  341. 19:45We live in a rapidly changing world
  342. 19:47powered by AI
  343. 19:49where a single algorithm can shape
  344. 19:52political narratives,
  345. 19:5412 conspiracy theories and dictates what
  346. 19:58leaders read, believe and share way
  347. 20:02before journalists or professionals can
  348. 20:04intervene.
  349. 20:06Artificial intelligence is no longer a
  350. 20:09me content spreading misinformation
  351. 20:13and creating echo chambers. From the
  352. 20:16rise of deep fakes and synthetic media
  353. 20:20to the viral spread of misinformation
  354. 20:23across digital platforms, public
  355. 20:26relations as a profession is being
  356. 20:28tested like never before.
  357. 20:31The tools have changed.
  358. 20:34The seed has changed.
  359. 20:36The states have changed and so has
  360. 20:42much of the power lost by editors and
  361. 20:45communicators
  362. 20:47has passed to algorithms.
  363. 20:49Artificial intelligence can now a
  364. 20:52familiar voice or produce a video of a
  365. 20:57leader saying what he never said.
  366. 21:00and a false can travel around the
  367. 21:03country before the truth has been
  368. 21:06drafted. For a profession whose currency
  369. 21:10credibility, this is not a distant
  370. 21:14technical debate. As our nation
  371. 21:17approaches another electoral cycle, the
  372. 21:21integrity of the information our people
  373. 21:23receive is inseparable from the
  374. 21:27integrity of our democracy.
  375. 21:30I am confident that our keynote speaker
  376. 21:35and our distinguished panelist will help
  377. 21:38us move from concern to concrete
  378. 21:42comments. I urge you to participate
  379. 21:46fully and ask the difficult questions.
  380. 21:50Ladies and gentlemen, the need for
  381. 21:53spaces where Nigerians are listening
  382. 21:55together
  383. 21:56and based on facts has never greater.
  384. 22:00Unfortunately, it is becoming more
  385. 22:03difficult to convene a gathering of this
  386. 22:06nature as the cost of hosting an event
  387. 22:10of this standard has risen sharply in
  388. 22:12recent times. This is why I must once
  389. 22:15again appreciate our sponsors as well as
  390. 22:19our media partners.
  391. 22:22You have not merely funded an event, you
  392. 22:25have invested in the health of our
  393. 22:26public sphere. will remain intact to
  394. 22:29you. For 26 years, the next table has
  395. 22:34remained an independent platform and we
  396. 22:37have been known to deliver our promises.
  397. 22:40To sustain that standard, we need more
  398. 22:42partners who share our vision. I
  399. 22:45therefore appeal to the corporate
  400. 22:47organizations,
  401. 22:48government agencies, financial
  402. 22:51institutions and development partners
  403. 22:53represented here today to come and
  404. 22:56partner with us. I ask you would be glad

  598. 1:23:54She is the Nigerian economic policy
  599. 1:23:57expert and advocate for transparency.
  600. 1:24:07Please bring that video.
  601. 1:24:10>> Before she became known as madame due
  602. 1:24:12process, Obiagi is had already built her
  603. 1:24:16life around one conviction. [music]
  604. 1:24:18Institutions should work and power
  605. 1:24:21should be accountable. Her preparation
  606. 1:24:24was rigorous. She studied business
  607. 1:24:26education at the University of Nigeria,
  608. 1:24:29Nsuka, earned a master's degree in
  609. 1:24:31international law and diplomacy from the
  610. 1:24:33University of Lagos and later a master's
  611. 1:24:36in public policy and administration from
  612. 1:24:39Harvard Kennedy School. She also
  613. 1:24:41qualified as a chartered accountant. She
  614. 1:24:43began her professional career in audit
  615. 1:24:45and consulting at [music] Deote and
  616. 1:24:47Touch before becoming a founding
  617. 1:24:49director of Transparency International
  618. 1:24:51and later its director [music] for
  619. 1:24:53Africa. Then came public service under
  620. 1:24:57President Olusun Obasonjjo. She led
  621. 1:24:59Nigeria's budget monitoring and price
  622. 1:25:01intelligence unit, the due process
  623. 1:25:03office, pushing a new culture of
  624. 1:25:06transparency, competition, and
  625. 1:25:08accountability [music]
  626. 1:25:09in public procurement. Her insistence on
  627. 1:25:11doing things differently earned her a
  628. 1:25:13name Nigerians would remember, Madame
  629. 1:25:16Due Process. She later served as
  630. 1:25:19Minister of Solid Minerals Development
  631. 1:25:20[music]
  632. 1:25:21and then Minister of Education. And in
  633. 1:25:242007, another chapter opened. [music]

  635. 1:25:29president for the Africa region,
  636. 1:25:31overseeing development work across 47
  637. 1:25:33[music] subsaharan African countries.
  638. 1:25:36But public office was never the end of
  639. 1:25:38the story. In 2014, she became one of
  640. 1:25:41the defining voices of the # bringback
  641. 1:25:44our girls movement, [music]
  642. 1:25:45helping turn the abduction of the
  643. 1:25:47Chibbach school girls into a global
  644. 1:25:49demand for action. She would go on to
  645. 1:25:52build new platforms around the same
  646. 1:25:54questions that had followed her career.
  647. 1:25:56Politics, governance, education, and
  648. 1:25:58human capital [music]
  649. 1:26:00through initiatives including #fix
  650. 1:26:02politics, the school of politics, policy
  651. 1:26:05and governance and human capital Africa.
  652. 1:26:08Across more than three decades, the
  653. 1:26:10thread has remained remarkably
  654. 1:26:12consistent. Transparency,
  655. 1:26:14accountability, institutions, citizens.
  656. 1:26:18In 2025, [music]
  657. 1:26:20that body of work was recognized with
  658. 1:26:22the Shik Tamin bin Hammad Althani

  662. 1:26:31reform in Abuja [music] to education
  663. 1:26:33reform to development leadership across
  664. 1:26:35Africa, Obi is work has returned again
  665. 1:26:39and again to one question. How do we
  666. 1:26:42build systems people can trust? And
  667. 1:26:44beyond the offices, institutions,
  668. 1:26:47movements and global stages, she is also
  669. 1:26:50a wife to pastor Chinedu Ezekieli
  670. 1:26:52[music] and a mother of three sons,

  994. 3:57:06Government has no
  995. 3:57:12in my view.
  996. 3:57:17The most powerful government in the
  997. 3:57:18world
  998. 3:57:21that is
  999. 3:57:31in China, Russia.
  1000. 3:57:40The problem of what
  1001. 3:57:43said earlier citizen engagement
  1002. 3:57:47are producing a very smooth government.
  1003. 3:57:52is
  1004. 3:57:54talking about
  1005. 3:58:13that view. Thank you. Now about let me
  1006. 3:58:17answer your question

  1011. 3:58:34decid
  1012. 3:59:00something about the popular
  1013. 3:59:31I think

  1018. 4:00:16now. The point I'm trying to make here
  1019. 4:00:19is that authority or no authority
  1020. 4:00:23or noity
  1021. 4:00:25element of authority

  1024. 4:00:46factor.
  1025. 4:00:48We do not fall under
  1026. 4:01:16what is important.
  1027. 4:01:22What is important
  1028. 4:01:24for
  1029. 4:01:28the we
  1030. 4:01:36get excited and fall under the influence
  1031. 4:01:39of what is popularly called
