TPT Bags ‘PR Professional of The Decade’ At The Nigerian Marketing Edge Award

There’s a very tall Nigerian, who is a giant in the true sense of the word. His tallness reflects on the various aspects of life, such that it carries sheen that beats the threat of obscurity. He’s no other genius than Akogun Tokunbo Modupe.

Popularly known and addressed as by the appellation, he’s given birth to in this season.  The Triangle has thus brought the seasoned media guru to page, extolling the beauty inside-out that he (Akogun Modupe) typifies.

Let’s measure a man. Let’s weigh the weight of worth. Let’s define lustre and decorate deeds of distinctions in Mr. Akogun Tokunbo Modupe, a poster child of success on the plural fronts. He’s, by any measure, a huge success as far as the spelling of success goes. Think family and relational circles and find his fantastic imprints. Even in his chosen career -Public Relations- he has continued to soar and tower. A doyen of PR practice in Nigeria, his action so far will no doubt put those in doubt of his capabilities and dexterity to shame.

 

Tokunbo’s story is that of a lowly beginner who started from the stracth and that his optimism to put the plans in motion for the benefit of Nigerians and make his dreams a reality. Not minding the effects of the influx of entrants into PR industry, he noted “well the industry has a good and bad side.

 

The good side is that with the help of technology, information dissemination has become so fragmented and so uncoordinated so much that if you have a smart phone and data connection, you become a publisher.

Although, the Public Relations practitioner who has made his mark has been using any opportunity he has to talk to the young interested in the job to be patient and learn the new scheme in the industry. Even though the field of practice had seen somewhat corroded or corrupted by quacks and plethora charlatans of the profession, one still envies that there are geniuses who knows the game as core professionals, those with cutting edge skills like Akogun continues to rule the communication world like a colosus.
