Akpabio, Eno

I wish to stand for re-election into the international council of the IAMCR.  I hold BA(ED) English, MSc and PhD in Mass Communication.  My University teaching experience has been at the Universities of Lagos (Lecturer), Botswana (Senior Lecturer, Associate Professor and Head of Department), as well as Dar es Salaam and Namibia (Professor).

I have two books – African Communication Systems: An Introductory Text and Writing to win Hearts and Minds-, numerous chapters in books and articles in scholarly journals as well as papers read at IAMCR, AEJMC and ICA conferences amongst others.

Since my election, I have served in two IAMCR committees - Changes in Academia/IAMCR Future now known as the Committee for the Improvement of Academic Life and Clearing House on Political Statements.  Matters that concern the African academic experience and that of the global South continue to be issues that I am passionate about and my re-election would enable me to continue to give voice to your concerns as well as represent your interests.  Thanks
