APRA 2020: ‘And The Winner Is TANZANIA! #Tanzania #PR

Following the inability of our initial nominee to host the 2020 edition of the African Public Relations Association’s (APRA) Annual Conference, the Executive Council is pleased to announce Dar es Salaam,Tanzania as the new location. The earlier announced dates of May 11-15, 2020, however remain sacrosanct.

The choice of Dar es Salaam was made after careful consideration following the Public Relations Society of Tanzania’s (PRST) request to host, and preliminary conditions for this were agreed upon. This includes the approval of the Government of Tanzania.

Hire a PR manager at an affordable monthly rate.

APRA is particularly excited at the prospect of returning to East Africa following the very successful hosting of this year's edition earlier on in Kigali, Rwanda.

The fact that Tanzania has never hosted the conference; the remarkable strides made in recent years by PRST and the positively changing narrative of Tanzania, all serve as an irresistible pull for choosing Tanzania as the next destination.

APRA working with the Loth Makuza’s led PRST promises to make APRA Tanzania 2020, a most exceptional conference befitting of an international forum that will make us all very proud.

Over the next few weeks, a steady steam of information regarding the conference will be shared on our various platforms that will aid your travels, participation, accommodation and leisure experience, which APRA & PRST assure you will be most memorable and rewarding.

APRA wishes to thank the Public Relations Association of Uganda (PRAU) and The Public Relations Institute of Southern Africa (PRISA) respectively, who in the spirit ‘Ubuntu’ true African brotherhood, so graciously offered to host the conference when the lacuna occurred. APRA intends to revisit their offers in the very near future.

APRA urges its members and practitioners across and beyond Africa, to start planning actively to be part of APRA Tanzania 2020.

Chile 2015: What Happens To The World When Eagles Flock

Uduak Umo Eagles don’t flock. But not Emmanuel Amuneke’s boys at the FIFA Under 17 World Cup holding at Chile. These ones field one of the youngest squads; play with a deadly combination of energy, appetite and intellect. With the sharpest attack edge in the tournament, the most painstaking midfield, an amazingly brave and athletic goalie, a shaky defence unit notwithstanding, this Nigerian Golden Eaglets prove the danger when Eagles flock. Announcing Prospect Soccer is like a religion in Nigeria. And it wouldn’t be out of place to say that the English Premier league only began to gain significant followership in Nigeria when Nigerians ran out of patience for the national teams and local clubs following decay in the administration of the game in the country. In the last decade and more, Nigerians have been deprived the joy of watching their national teams dominate the world. Hence, publicity for Chile 2015 in Nigeria was met with sad indifference. The people no longer i...
