Board Members of award-winning, bespoke marketing communications outfit, PR Primus Limited have met with Management of the Mass Communication Department of Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta(MAPOLY) on modalities for the forthcoming annual Scholarship Scheme for indigent Mass Communication Students.
Team Lead of PR Primus Limited, Mr. Akin Okudero, informed the Head of Department, Dr. Wasiu Tejuoso and other senior lecturers of plans to make the third in the series of the scholarship schemes more inclusive and memorable.
Okudero asked for the support of the staff and students of the foremost institution to raise the bar with this year’s edition of the Lai Oso Scholarship Scheme.
Responding, Dr. Wasiu Tejuoso who described himself as a protege of Professor Oso, promised to fully support the programme because of the sterling reputation of PR Primus adding that “we have turned down many proposals because of low quality”.
He noted that he became an NIPR member when Mr. Akin Okudero was Ogun State Chapter Chairman.
He described late Prof Lai Oso who spent a larger part of his working life at MAPOLY where he also served as Deputy Rector as ” the root of the Mass Communication Department”
Dr. Tejuoso said the department was planning to build a Conference Centre to immortalise the life, times and death of the iconic scholar with what he called “the Lai Oso Legacy”.
Dr. Tejuoso spoke of a deliberate and intentional effort to inform the current and future students of the great contributions of professionals that had passed through the Department by posting their pictures and works conspicuously for them to learn from.
The PR Primus team was later taken on a guided tour of the MAPOLY Radio by the General Manager of the station, Deacon Kunle Oluwusi.
