National Association of Nigerian Comrades (NANC) under the leadership of Comrade John Claude Peter, has announced the appointment of Comrade Esan Oyeniyi as its Director of Information Strategy and Public Communications, in a move aimed at strengthening the association’s media presence, information management and public engagement.
The appointment was conveyed in an official letter dated November 6, 2026, signed by the National President of NANC, Comrade Johnclaude Peter, on behalf of the National Executive Council (NEC).
According to the appointment letter, Oyeniyi’s selection was based on his competence, loyalty, commitment to comradeship and demonstrated capacity in information management, media strategy and public communications.
In his new capacity, he is expected to serve as the chief custodian of the association’s public image, information flow and media strategy, while developing and implementing policies that will strengthen NANC’s communication structure at the national and state levels.
His responsibilities will include supervising the association’s official communication platforms, coordinating media relations, preparing press statements, communiqués and public announcements, as well as ensuring effective publicity for NANC’s national programmes and activities.
He will also coordinate and provide professional guidance to Directors of Information across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory, with particular emphasis on media ethics, information verification and responsible public communication.
The appointment further places him at the centre of NANC’s relationship with journalists, media organisations, bloggers and other stakeholders in the communications industry.
Oyeniyi is expected to work closely with the National President, National Secretary, Director of Protocol and the National Executive Council to ensure timely, accurate and authorised dissemination of information.
The appointment takes immediate effect and is for an initial period of two years, renewable subject to satisfactory performance and the determination of the National Executive Council.
The position is voluntary, although the appointee is entitled to allowances as approved by the NEC for official assignments.
Congratulating the new director, the National President expressed confidence in his ability to justify the trust reposed in him, describing the struggle for the voiceless as one that requires a strong voice.
“The struggle for the voiceless needs a strong voice, and we have chosen you to be that voice,” Peter stated in the appointment letter.
The appointment comes at a time when NANC is seeking to strengthen its institutional structures and reposition its advocacy around issues affecting students, unemployed graduates, young workers and other Nigerians confronting social and economic challenges.
With the new responsibility, Oyeniyi is expected to contribute to building a more coordinated, visible and effective communication system capable of projecting the association’s ideals, advocacy and interventions to a wider Nigerian audience.
