Background of the study
Digital public relations (PR) have emerged as a vital tool for enhancing stakeholder engagement, particularly in sectors where communication is key to building trust and loyalty. In Kaduna, telecommunications companies are leveraging digital PR strategies—such as social media management, online press releases, and interactive webinars—to engage with customers, investors, and regulatory bodies (Okeke, 2023). These digital initiatives facilitate real-time communication, enabling companies to quickly address concerns and maintain a positive brand image. Research indicates that effective digital PR can significantly improve stakeholder engagement by providing transparent and timely information (Adenuga, 2024). However, challenges such as digital noise, misinformation, and inconsistent messaging may impede engagement efforts. This study reviews digital PR practices employed by a telecommunications company in Kaduna, analyzing metrics such as online engagement, sentiment analysis, and stakeholder feedback. The goal is to identify best practices and offer recommendations for optimizing digital PR strategies to foster robust stakeholder relationships and improve overall corporate reputation (Ibrahim, 2025).

Telecommunications companies in Kaduna face difficulties in achieving effective stakeholder engagement through digital PR due to inconsistent messaging and digital overload (Chinwe, 2023). Ineffective use of digital channels often results in weak stakeholder relationships and reduced trust.
