Col. A.Y. Ngulde
In his remarks, Dr. Suleiman described the IPC as a new initiative seeking enhance public communication amongst media aides and spokespersons in the Non-profit, Private and public sectors which includes the military. This is to primarily bridge the gap between the government and the governed, hence the motto, “governance by persuasion”.
