The revived Benue State Government Owned Printing Press – Benue Printing and Publishing Corporation (BPPC) has celebrated its first anniversary as a transformed and efficient Corporation, repositioned as the hub of printing excellence, innovation, and professionalism.
In a statement by the Media Officer of the Corporation, Mr. Johnson Dzungwenen Uju, the last one year of BPPC was characterised by successful revival and transformation of a once ailing establishment into a vibrant, modern, and result-driven commercial printing press; “Exactly one year ago, BPPC was entrusted with a renewed vision under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the Benue State Government and Shimatex Nigeria Limited. This noble initiative, made possible under the visionary leadership of the Executive Governor of Benue State, His Excellency Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, has breathed new life into the Corporation, repositioning it as a hub of excellence, innovation, and professionalism in the printing and publishing industry,” the statement reads in part.
To this end, BPPC over the last twelve months has recorded landmark achievements in the modernization of its operations, transitioning from obsolete machinery to state-of-the-art equipment. As a result, the Corporation now operates as a modern printing press, delivering world-class print solutions. BPPC has also successfully executed major printing contracts for government institutions, corporate organizations, and educational establishments – with on-time delivery and superior quality. Not only that, for the first time in many years, BPPC is generating sustainable revenue, contributing meaningfully to the state economy, hence setting the pace for profitability.
As a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the Benue State Government and Shimatex Nigeria Limited, led by Mr. Joel Terhemen Mtsor (popularly called Shimatex), the revival at BPPC has led to employment opportunities for Benue indigenes, with improved staff welfare, training, and other motivational initiatives to boost staff morale. No doubt, Shimatex leadership has positioned the Corporation on the path of sustainability and excellence.
