The Kano State Government has reiterated its commitment to enhancing the Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) of the state by urging ministries, agencies, and private organizations to prioritize patronizing the Kano State Printing Press.


This appeal was made by the Commissioner for Information and Internal Affairs, Ibrahim Waiya, during a visit to the state-owned facility in Kano.
Waiya emphasized the critical role of supporting the institution to ensure its financial sustainability and operational efficiency.
He noted that increased patronage would not only revitalize the Printing Press but also strengthen its capacity to contribute meaningfully to the state’s economy.

Expressing concern over incidents of vandalism that have plagued the facility, the Commissioner condemned the actions as detrimental to the state’s progress.
He called on the Managing Director of the Printing Press to explore additional revenue streams by securing contracts from other states and private organizations.
The Commissioner commended the ongoing renovation of the facility and reaffirmed his dedication to improving staff welfare and training. He stressed that better working conditions would enhance productivity and overall performance.

Yahaya Idris, Managing Director of the Kano State Printing Press, shared insights into the challenges faced by the institution.
He revealed that the facility was non-operational for six months before repairs were undertaken to resume operations. Unfortunately, vandalism disrupted these efforts, necessitating the current renovation.
Idris highlighted progress made under his leadership, including the establishment of a cooperative society to enhance staff welfare and ensure prompt payment for casual workers.

He appealed to the Commissioner to advocate for greater patronage from government agencies to bolster the Printing Press’s revenue and operational stability.
