Finalists Emerge for 2025 National Spokesperson Awards

A total of 62 finalists have been shortlisted for recognition across 21 competitive categories in the 2025 edition of the ‘National Spokespersons’ Awards’ (NSAwards), as announced by the adjudication committee led by Dr. Shuaibu Husseini.

Now in its fifth edition, the awards—previously held as the Spokespersons’ Communication Awards (SCA)—recognise excellence and professionalism in public communications across Nigeria’s public and private sectors.

The NSAwards serve as a prestigious platform celebrating excellence, innovation, and professionalism in public communication across Nigeria’s public and private sectors.

This year’s ceremony—doubling as the grand finale of the 2025 ‘National Spokespersons’ Summit’—will be held on Wednesday, April 16, 2025, at the Abuja Continental Hotel.

The event is a product of a strategic partnership between the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR) and Image Merchants Promotion Limited (IMPR), publishers of ‘PRNigeria’ and ‘Spokespersons’ Digest’.

Finalists emerged from a broad spectrum of institutions, agencies, and private sector organisations.

In the headline category of “Spokesperson of the Year,” five leading professionals will contest the top prize: ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi of the Nigeria Police Force, Igo Weli of Shell Petroleum, Olufemi Soneye of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL), Olumuyiwa Akande of Sifax Group, and Osagie Edward Omoruyi of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA).

The “Outstanding Government Spokesperson (Federal)” category features Bayo Onanuga of the Presidency, Dele Oyewale of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), and Josephine Adokuru Mudasiru of the Federal Capital Development Authority (FCDA).

At the state level, “Outstanding Government Spokesperson (State)” nominees include Abdullah Abdulkadir of Edo State, Ismail Isah of Kogi State, and Ismaila Uba Misili of Gombe State.

For “Outstanding Corporate Spokesperson,” the finalists are Dr. Jossy Nkwocha of Indorama Eleme Petrochemical, Rafiat Gawat of Tropical General Investment, and Sade Morgan of Nigerian Breweries.

In the “Outstanding Spokesperson (Security Services)” category, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi is joined by DCC Abubakar Danlami of the Nigerian Correctional Service and Femi Babafemi of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA).

Igo Weli of Shell Petroleum, Stanley Olisa of Helpster US Inc., and Viola Graham Douglas of Lafarge will compete for the award of “Most Innovative Spokesperson (Multilateral/Multinational).”
