The former Director and Global Head of Communications and Events Management at Afreximbank, Obi Emekekwue is billed to deliver the 2nd Jacksonites Professional Development Series [JPDS] seminar.

Emekekwue’s lecture titled: “Crisis Survival in Today’s Viral World: The Communications Conundrum,” will examine effective communication as a way of navigating and managing the negative impact crisis has on organizations and institutions at both national and international levels.

The seminar series is organized by Jacksonites Worldwide Forum, an alumni association and professional development network of the Department of Mass Communication, University of Nigeria, Nsukka [UNN].

Slated for November 10 at 3 p.m.GMT+1 through the zoom platform [https://bit.ly/jacksonitespdseries2], the lecture would be moderated by Marcel Mbamalu, a veteran journalist and Editor-in-Chief and Publisher of Prime Business Africa, an online media platform.

The Jacksonites Professional Development Series Steering Committee Chairman, Prof. Chinedu Mba of Algonquin College, Ottawa, Canada said the focus of the upcoming session is critical because communication blunders around the world have led to several disasters, wars, economic downturn, public health emergencies and air tragedies, adding that the lecture is timely and relevant, and that the teams involved in planning the event are intentional in choosing the theme for each session.

“We are focused on improving and building capacity, and selected seminar themes are a reflection of   pressing needs in the environment that are begging to be addressed,” she said.

“Mr. Emekekwue will skillfully examine the subject and participants can expect to leave the session with an expertly sourced toolkit for avoiding and handling different communication disasters.”
