Publicity campaigns are essential tools for attracting attendees to events, leveraging various communication channels such as social media, radio, television, and print media. In Lokoja Local Government Area, Kogi State, events ranging from cultural festivals to educational seminars depend heavily on effective publicity to generate awareness and interest.
