Nigeria's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) says it is committed to ensuring that delegates from across 120 countries who are coming to participate in the World Public Relations Forum (WPRF) Abuja 2026 will have hitch-free experiences securing their visas.
Foreign Affairs Minister, Amb. Yusuf Tuggar who gave this assurance at the national unveiling of WPRF in Abuja said as a partner in the drive towards the nation's reputation building, the ministry is ready to partner with the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) to ensure that Nigeria delivers a world class Forum.
Represented by the ministry's spokesman, Mr. Kimiebi Ebienfa, the Minister said the choice of Abuja for the WPRF 2026 is a clear testimony to Nigeria's influence in responsible communication at the world stage, a recognition of the country's vibrant democracy, dynamic economy and unyielding commitment to fostering open and inclusive dialogue within the country and across the African continent.
"The ministry will be dedicating necessary resources that will assist in facilitating the seamless issuance of visas by our missions abroad to international participants who will be visiting Nigeria for the World Public Relations Forum, to deliver an event that is not only productive but an enduring experience", he said.
According to the Minister, hosting the WPRF aligns with the ministry's foreign policy of promoting Nigeria as a premium destination for investment, tourism and international discourse anchored on demography, democracy, development and diaspora.
