Earlier, the General Manager of the Corporation, Mr. Sakiru Odusanya described the new machines as the latest in the industry and best in the country, assuring that there is no aspect of printing that the corporation cannot handle now with the new acquisition.
Odusanya, therefore, urged all Ministries, Agencies, Departments and Corporate organisations to make the outfit their first choice for all printing requirements, stressing that the era when the corporation could only handle selected printing works was over.
He thanked the Governor for the major transformation and modernization of the outfit promising that the machines would be put to good use and regularly maintained accordingly.
