The West Africa Democracy Radio (WADR) has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the World Public Relations Forum (WPRF) to serve as the official radio partner for the upcoming WPRF Abuja 2026 global convening. This partnership enables WADR to disseminate information on the WPRF Abuja 2026, scheduled to take place from 15 to 21 November 2026 in Abuja, Nigeria. The event is expected to bring together communication experts, policymakers, academics, business leaders, and public relations practitioners from across the world.

The World Public Relations Forum (WPRF) Abuja 2026 is in its 13th edition and is organized by the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management, with the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) as the host. The forum's theme, "Responsible Communication: The Voice of the World," will explore the role of ethical communication in building public trust, strengthening leadership, and promoting sustainable development. The event will also provide opportunities for knowledge sharing, professional networking, and international collaboration.

WADR, headquartered in Dakar, Senegal, is recognized for promoting democracy in a responsible way, making it a suitable partner for the WPRF, according to Prof. Justin Green, President and CEO of the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management. The partnership with WADR will help drive the WPRF's mission to promote responsible communication and global understanding.

The WPRF Abuja 2026 is expected to attract more than 3,000 delegates from 126 countries, making it a significant global gathering of public relations and strategic communication professionals. The event will take place alongside the 37th African Public Relations Association (APRA) Conference, providing a platform for networking and knowledge sharing among communication professionals.

The MoA signing ceremony took place in Abuja last month, marking a significant milestone in the partnership between WADR and WPRF. As the official radio partner, WADR will play a crucial role in disseminating information on the WPRF Abuja 2026, promoting the event, and highlighting its importance in the global communication landscape.

The WPRF Abuja 2026 will showcase Nigeria's culture and its growing role in global communication, providing a platform for the country to demonstrate its capabilities and expertise in the field. The event will also provide opportunities for Nigerian communication professionals to network with their international counterparts and learn from their experiences.

The partnership between WADR and WPRF reflects the growing importance of responsible communication in today's global landscape. As the world grapples with the challenges of misinformation and disinformation, the WPRF Abuja 2026 aims to promote ethical communication and provide a platform for communication professionals to share their experiences and best practices.
