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.
