Nigerian Leaders to Shine at MIPAD’s Global Trade Celebration During 2024 UN General Assembly in New York

As the world gathered for the United Nations General Assembly high-level week this month, a special spotlight will shine on global trade leaders, including several Nigerian powerhouses, at the Most Influential People of African Descent (MIPAD) Recognition Week. The week-long celebration coincides with the end of the first International Decade for People of African Descent.

This year’s event offers a unique platform for all honorees (past and present) to amplify their influence through MIPAD’s partnership with GLG Communications, a renowned PR and reputation management firm, to provide comprehensive public relations services.

While the partnership focuses on elevating MIPAD honourees, the opportunity extends to all 2024 UN General Assembly attendees who desire to amplify their brands this September.
They are encouraged to fill out the form atbit.ly/WorldClassStrategicPR before September 16. Due to limited capacity, only selected personal and corporate brands will be invited to participate in a discovery PR call to tailor the PR services to their specific goals.
