Managing Government Relations

Many organizations, businesses, and not for profits are facing challenges relating with multi-level governments in an emerging democracy such as Nigeria’s. More so, given the relative lack of experience in constitutional government, continuity in policies and personnel. There are new legal requirements that now have to be followed, and ethical challenges in influencing and lobbying government. Government relations managers require a strategic approach to understanding the new environment and techniques for effective proactive management of government relations and communication strategies in an ethical and professional manner.
