Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Border areas serve as critical hubs for trade and economic interactions between nations. In Jibia Local Government Area (LGA), Katsina State, which shares a border with Niger Republic, trade relations play a vital role in the local economy. However, challenges such as smuggling, border disputes, and inadequate communication have affected trade dynamics. Public relations (PR) can enhance trade relations by fostering dialogue, promoting cross-border cooperation, and addressing trade-related issues.

This study examines the role of PR in enhancing trade relations in Jibia LGA.
