Recalling the past glories of the Government Printing
Press which was responsible for the production of all official documents of
Government including: gazettes, receipts, publications of all sorts then,
Comrade Ini Ememobong said, much of the printing challenges would be reduced if
the Printing Press were in good shape and operational.
He implored the head of the Printing Press, Mr Nsikak
Nkanga to document the state of the Press for review while looking out for
different models of printing machines for necessary consideration and
recommendation to government for action.
The Head of the Printing Press, Mr. Nsikak Nkanga who
received and conducted the State Information helmsman round the Printing Press
intimated that, the Government Printing Press has been moribund for years now
and requested government intervention in view of the benefits and valuable
contributions of a functional press to the the Information sector of the
state.
The Information Boss was accompanied on the visit by
the Director of Strategy, in the Ministry, Mr Joseph Etem.
