Branding Professionalism: A Tale of FCT NIPR By Austin Okechukwu

The Nigerian Institute of Public Relations, FCT Chapter has become like the latest sensation competing brand detergent in the market “Waw”. Those who have short memories like me may not be able to remember the days of the “omo” or “Elephant” brands when we are thoroughly “Waw-ed” in our homes, the streets and our offices. The reason for this is simple. The evocation of the trendy sensation has a capacity of blurring the image of the old. But these are just facts associated with premiership which our revered Fellow, Dr. Ike acknowledged as belonging to the classical tradition. Organizations and people have gone through obvious metamorphosis. While premiership might have been conceded to our brother Chapter, the Capital Chapter has been roundly confirmed as the Numero Uno. If the Numero Uno Chapter therefore were to be a ‘babe’, she would have been tagged as the ‘Golden slay Queen’ of the high street… (please do not reveal this to anyone… I have a feeling that our parent is even considering dissolving its identity to the FCT. Having been thoroughly enamored by the avataric achievements of this simple but noble child, our parent may start bearing such tags as the Numero Uno or Flagship Institute. This is just how far a child can go to make his or her parent a proud one.
