Earlier at the strategic discourse held at the same venue, keynote speaker, Dr Jossy Nkwocha, Group Head, Corporate Communications and Special Adviser to the Managing Director, Indorama Nigeria, posited that truth is the only antidote to communication failure, and earning the trust of stakeholders in both public and private sectors.

He called on communication professionals to be open and sincere while communicating with their stakeholders.

He said, “Building trust is one of the key pillars of reputation management namely trust, integrity and character. Integrity and character build trust. Trust is a psychological, mental attitude toward a proposition that someone is dependable, trustworthy and reliable.

“Trust is a powerful force that builds loyalty, increases credibility and supports effective communications. It gives you the benefit of the doubt in situations where you want to be heard, understood and believed. Trust often results from consistency.

“How to communicate truthfully, sincerely and honestly is a challenge for some business organisations and business leaders; and most especially in political communication, and among political leaders.”

He concluded his presentation by advising those, who handle public communications at federal and state levels to “douse tension in the country and rebuild brotherhood and unity by being mindful of their speech writing and public communications”.

Commissioner for Information in Lagos, Mr Gbenga Omotosho, who represented the Governor of Lagos, also identified truth as the right tool that has helped the Lagos State Government to build trust among Lagosians.

The discourse chaired by Dr Rotimi Oladele, immediate-past President of NIPR, had other discussants like Mrs Temitope Oguntokun, Director Legal and Corporate Affairs, International Breweries, and Mr Tunji Oketunbi, GM, Public Affairs, Accident Investigation Bureau; who all aligned with the postulations of the keynote speaker and chairman of discourse.

The discourse was compered by Mrs Victoria Uwadoka, Lead, Corporate Communications and Public Affairs, Nestle Nigeria PLC.
