The appointments followed months of deliberation, assessment, and careful consideration of each individual’s sustained involvement with the community.
Statement from the Founder
Tolulope Olorundero, Founder and outgoing executive lead of Nigerian Women in PR and Chair of the Board of Trustees of PRWF, said:
“It is a privilege to transition leadership to a team that I am confident will build on our foundation and exceed the impact we have achieved to date. Succession planning and impact sustainability are central to how we think about this organisation – and with these appointments, we demonstrate that PR can be an example of how transitions are managed well, and how organisations can thrive beyond their founding generation. Nigerian Women in PR has always been bigger than any one person. Today, that becomes fully visible.”
The newly appointed President stated, “I have always been a strong advocate for Nigerian women in public relations, driven by a deep admiration for their remarkable work across the industry. While we must continue to amplify the value of public relations, it is equally important that we remain actively engaged in shaping its future. I am excited about the vision and leadership this executive team brings, and the opportunity to drive meaningful change, strengthen collaboration, and elevate professional standards.”
Nigerian Women in PR was established in 2019. Since its founding, the organisation has reached over 12,000 professional women, delivered 15+ PR Students Summits across tertiary institutions in Nigeria, and pioneered the first reverse mentorship programme in the global PR, and published two editions of the Experiencing PR Book which documents the professional life and career insights of 18 Nigerian women practicing PR in across the world.
The appointment of a non-founder executive leadership team represents the organisation’s formal transition into its next phase; one defined by expanded capacity, broader reach, and deepened impact across the Nigerian and African communications profession.
