Niger State, in central Nigeria, is rehabilitating the Government Printing Press complex, its public printing press located in Minna. State Secretary to the Government Abubakar Usman reaffirmed the authorities’ support for modernising and improving the agency’s operations, according to Nigerian daily Leadership.
The renovation was funded using revenue from printing work carried out for public bodies, explained James Bake, permanent secretary for political affairs. He said the upgrade should enable the printing press to attract more orders from individuals, businesses and other clients.
Abubakar Usman asked staff to actively seek new contracts. He proposed that employees who brought in outside orders should receive a share of the corresponding revenue, in order to boost their productivity and strengthen the agency’s financial viability. Air conditioners and other equipment still need to be installed to improve working conditions.
