Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The insurgency in Northeastern Nigeria has resulted in a significant population of internally displaced persons (IDPs), particularly in Monguno LGA, Borno State. These individuals face challenges such as inadequate shelter, food, healthcare, and education. Public Relations (PR) plays a vital role in advocating for IDP welfare by raising awareness, mobilizing resources, and fostering partnerships between government agencies and humanitarian organizations.
PR campaigns, leveraging mass media and community-based initiatives, can influence public opinion, encourage support for IDPs, and ensure their voices are heard. Recent literature underscores the role of PR in humanitarian efforts, highlighting its capacity to build sustained advocacy (Okafor & Yusuf, 2024). This study explores how PR strategies can promote IDP welfare in Monguno LGA.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
Despite ongoing humanitarian interventions, many IDPs in Monguno LGA continue to live in deplorable conditions due to insufficient awareness and support. The lack of robust PR campaigns limits advocacy and resource mobilization. This study investigates the role of PR in promoting the welfare of IDPs.
