The Ogun State Government expressed its readiness on Saturday to revamp the state-owned Printing Corporation to further enhance the distribution of educational materials across public schools in the state.

This development came as Prince Segun Seriki assumed office as the new Chairman of the Corporation, emphasising the need to reposition the organisation for improved efficiency and service delivery.

Seriki stated that his leadership would ensure the agency plays a vital role in supporting government ministries, departments, and agencies by providing quality printing and publishing services.

He stressed that the corporation’s core mandate is to deliver efficient, reliable, secure, and cost-effective printing solutions that meet high professional standards.

“Our mandate remains clear: to deliver efficient, reliable, secure, and cost-effective printing solutions that meet high professional standards,” he said.

“As part of our renewed mission, the Corporation is committed to modernisation and technological upgrades under this administration. I can assure you that deliberate efforts will be made to upgrade our machinery and equipment and adopt digital printing technologies. This will improve turnaround time, enhance quality, and enable us to effectively produce printing and educational materials,” Seriki added.

He noted that the Corporation had been operating under moribund conditions, with obsolete machinery, and stressed that revamping the facility was necessary to meet modern standards.

“We will ensure that our staff benefit from capacity building and continuous professional development. In all we do, the interest of the people of Ogun State remains our priority. Our efforts will, to say the least, enhance and improve education in the state, as we will partner effectively with the government in its vision of uplifting education through the provision of educational materials,” he said.

Seriki further assured that the corporation would operate with transparency and accountability.

“The Corporation will also reclaim its pride of place in revenue generation for the government and the people of the state. Beyond serving the education and agricultural sectors and reducing government production costs, the Corporation will also serve as a viable source of revenue for Ogun State, by the grace of God,” he stated.

He commended the state governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun, for his economic drive and developmental agenda, which have made the state a hub of industries in the country and globally, projecting the country as the economic hub of West Africa.
