… As Vanguard Newspaper Opens Asaba Printing Facility
… Governor Lauds Vanguard For Taking Lead
SAN FRANCISCO, August 26, (THEWILL) – Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan has called on potential investors to make the State their investment destination, assuring them of quick returns on their investments.
Speaking after an inspection tour of a printing facility of Vanguard Newspapers Limited in Asaba, Governor Uduaghan observed that the enabling environment has been created for private investments to thrive in the state.
Dr. Uduaghan noted that private investors were being encouraged to invest in the state because with such investments, unemployment will be checked, as government alone could not employ all the unemployed.
The Governor commended Vanguard Media Limited over its choice of Asaba for its printing press, which he described as ultra-modern and strategic.
According to him, “Investors should be encouraged to go into certain areas of investments and I am impressed with what I have seen here. The equipment is quite modern.”
Fielding questions from newsmen on the possibility of the state government providing such a printing press for its own newspaper company, The Pointer Newspaper, Dr Uduaghan observed that with private sector investments in the printing industry, government would look at areas they can partner with such companies to ensure that the public gets the best in service delivery.
The Deputy Electrical Manager of Vanguard Newspaper, Mr. Tunde Balogun who took the Governor on the inspection tour, disclosed that the printing facility has a capacity of more than 100, 000 print run.
