The ceremony also featured the handover of a sponsorship cheque from Unicaf in support of the 2025 PR Annual Conference, scheduled to take place in Mzuzu from 30 October to 2 November 2025.
The MoU establishes a framework for collaboration between the two organisations, aiming to enhance professional development, knowledge sharing, and practical opportunities for students and professionals in the field of public relations and communications.
