50 communications professionals honored at 2026 PR Power List Awards in Lagos

Lagos, Nigeria – GLG Communications celebrated 50 leading public relations and strategic communications professionals at the fifth annual PR Power List Awards. The event, held as part of World PR Day 2026 activities, took place at the Alliance Française, Mike Adenuga Centre, under the theme, “The Golden Age of Strategic Public Relations.”

The PR Power List is recognized as a premier platform in Africa for acknowledging excellence in the field. It honors individuals whose work over the preceding year has demonstrably shaped organizations, influenced public discourse, strengthened institutions, and advanced the communications profession. The selection process involved rigorous research, independent assessments, and deliberations by a jury of communications experts from Nigeria and globally.

Kwame Senou, President of the jury, highlighted that the selection prioritized "real impact" over mere public visibility, focusing on professionals who influenced decisions, protected institutions, and shaped critical conversations. The 2026 edition featured four award categories: Rising Voices, Changemakers, Community Impact, and Fourth Estate, recognizing achievements across corporate communications, government, agencies, media, and social impact.

Notable recipients included Adeola Adejokun (FCMB Group) in Rising Voices, Anthony Chiejina (Dangote Industries) in Changemakers, and Tolulope Olorundero (Mosron Communications) in Community Impact, who received the award for the fifth consecutive year. A posthumous Legacy Award was presented to the late John Ajayi, founder of Marketing Edge, for his significant contributions. The Fourth Estate category honored media organizations like Nairametrics and ARISE News. The evening also included a keynote fireside conversation on driving national and corporate excellence through strategic public relations.
