Babatunde Fashola, former governor of Lagos, will deliver the keynote address at the inaugural 2026 Nigeria Reputation Summit.
The summit, organised by the Nigeria Reputation Management
Group (NRMG), is scheduled to hold on January 20, at the Shehu Musa Yar’Adua
Centre in Abuja.
Fashola’s keynote address, themed ‘Better Nigeria, Better
Reputation‘, is expected to focus on the role of leadership, governance and
institutional consistency in shaping Nigeria’s image both locally and globally.
The event will bring together leaders from government, the
private sector and civil society to advance conversations around rebuilding
Nigeria’s national reputation.
A major highlight of the summit is a special interactive
session targeted at young Nigerians, titled ‘The Power of Youth, Technology
& Creativity in Rebuilding Nigeria’s Reputation’.
The session will examine how innovation, digital platforms
and the creative economy can be leveraged to project a more positive and
authentic image of Nigeria.
Ministers overseeing youth development, technology and
innovation, as well as creative economy and tourism, are expected to
participate.
Yomi Badejo-Okusanya, chairman of NRMG, said the initiative
was born out of the need for a more deliberate approach to managing Nigeria’s
reputation.
“A nation’s reputation is not built by chance. It is shaped
by leadership, institutions, citizens, and the stories we tell through our
actions,” he said.
“The Nigeria Reputation Summit provides a platform to align
these forces and take responsibility for how Nigeria is seen and experienced.”
Badejo-Okusanya added that the summit is designed as an
annual convening to develop actionable strategies, track progress and
strengthen collaboration across sectors in support of a stronger national
reputation.
NRMG is a private-sector–driven initiative of the Nigerian
Institute of Public Relations (NIPR), established to harness reputation drivers
that shape Nigeria’s image.
