1.1 Background of the Study
Community development projects are essential for improving the quality of life in underserved areas, addressing issues such as infrastructure, education, and healthcare. In Maiduguri LGA, Borno State, public relations (PR) plays a pivotal role in mobilizing resources, fostering community participation, and ensuring the sustainability of development initiatives.
PR strategies in community development focus on building trust, creating awareness, and engaging stakeholders through targeted communication campaigns. By leveraging traditional and modern communication platforms, PR professionals can bridge the gap between project implementers and beneficiaries, ensuring alignment with community needs.
