ABSTRACT
This research
was on the Role of Public Relations in Crisis Management, a case study of the
Etiti Ihitte-Uboma, L.G.A. of Imo

necessary evil, a sine quo non. This was so because in the process to satisfy
needs, people and organizations engaged in different activities and as a result
crisis emerged. These crises that emerged posed a lot of problems to the
society. The objective of this research was to investigate the cause of crises
and examine the Roles of Public
Relations in Crisis Management in Nigeria. This research used both
primary and secondary sources of data collection and population of the study
was 9,010 and sample size was 383 chi-square test of independence were used to
test the hypotheses as survey method was an ideal for a good research like
this. Included in the findings were

relations strategies cause crises among others like improper demarcation of
land boundaries, regular surveillance and tolerance among communities. The
research recommends that this crises should be carried out through public
relations enlightenment programmes.
