Abstract
This study examined application of Public Relations skills as tools for enhancing secretarial practice in Ogun State. Public relation is a strategic conversation existing between and among individuals within a society or organisation. It is a wide-ranging field, often misperceived because of the lack of message control inherent in public relations. The population used for the study comprised of employees selected from the three senatorial district of Ogun State; Ilaro, Saapade and Itori respectively. One hundred (100) respondents were sampled purposively. Three research questions were raised and some items were generated for the instrument used to collect information from respondents. All respondents filled and returned the administered copies of the questionnaire back to the researcher, where results were gathered for the study. For easy analysis of data, the Mean method was used and data collected was presented in table and percentage respectively. It was gathered that the secretary as a public relations officer is an ambassador who links her organization with the outside world and contributes greatly to the accomplishment of the organizational objectives who projects good reputation, ICT knowledge, excellent communication skills, and attention to details among others. The secretarial work ranges from taking shorthand notes, transcribing verbatim on the typewriter, to handling all administrative duties of a large modern organization. It was recommended among others that Secretaries need to understand the public well and be willing to serve whole heartedly
