A communications expert, Stanley Olisa, has emerged the Corporate Communications Professional of the Year at the 2025 Lagos Public Relations Industry Gala and Awards(LaPRIGA), which recognises excellence in public relations and strategic communications in Nigeria.
Olisa, who currently leads global PR at Helpster, was shortlisted alongside senior communications leaders from Nestlé and Nigerian Bottling Company Plc.
With a decade of experience across aviation, oil and gas, tech, financial services, health and international development sectors, Olisa was honoured for managing complex, multi-stakeholder communications environments and delivering effective internal and external strategies that strengthened trust and organisational credibility.
Judges highlighted his leadership in reputation management during periods of organisational change, noting clear alignment between communications strategy, executive decision-making and business priorities. His work showed sustained impact on corporate reputation and stakeholder confidence.
Commenting on the recognition, Olisa said the award reflects the growing importance of communications as a leadership function. “Corporate communications is no longer peripheral. It shapes credibility, guides trust and determines how organisations earn their social licence to operate,” he stated.
The LaPRIGA is organised by the Lagos State Chapter of the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations to celebrate outstanding professional practice and promote global standards within the communications industry.
