OPEC Appoints Spokesperson Awardee, Dr. Gwandu as PR Coordinator in Vienna

The Winner of the Public Affairs Category of the Spokesperson Communication Awards(SCA) 2022, Dr. Umar Jibrilu Gwandu, has been appointed the Public Relations Coordinator of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), Vienna, Austria.

Dr. Gwandu is a media and communication expert with over a decade of professional experience in university lecturing, journalism practice, and media management.

PRNigeria gathered that the appointment was meritoriously secured as it was preceded by a written examination, paper presentation and extensive interview on issues relating to public relations in the oil and gas sector.

The final stage of the process was keenly contested by the three top-most applicants from Nigeria, Kuwait and Algeria at the headquarter of OPEC in Vienna where Gwandu scaled and got the prestigious appointment.

A developer of innovative reputation management, image building and corporate communication techniques with a great passion for result-oriented public relations practice, Gwandu is the Special Assistant to the President on Media and Public Relations in the Office of the Attorney General of the Federation and Minister of Justice.
