Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Drug trafficking is a major challenge in many Nigerian communities, including Kontagora LGA, Niger State, with severe implications for public health, security, and social stability. Public relations (PR) plays a critical role in combating this menace by creating awareness, promoting behavioral change, and fostering collaboration among stakeholders. Through strategic communication campaigns, community engagement, and media advocacy, PR can effectively highlight the dangers of drug trafficking and encourage public participation in its prevention. Research indicates that targeted PR efforts have been instrumental in reducing drug-related crimes and empowering communities to resist trafficking activities (Ogbonna & Musa, 2024).
