Information Minister Calls For Unity To Revive Nigeria’s Printing Industry
A united industry is often better positioned to attract investment, shape policy and drive innovation.
That was the central message as the Federal Government urged Nigeria’s printing professionals to close ranks and pursue collective growth.
The Federal Government has urged stakeholders in Nigeria’s printing industry to embrace unity, reconciliation and collaboration to unlock the sector’s economic potential and strengthen its global competitiveness.
Speaking at the Nigeria Print Industry Stakeholders’ Summit 2026 in Abuja, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, described the resolution of the leadership crisis within the Chartered Institute of Professional Printers of Nigeria (CIPPON) as a fresh opportunity to reposition the industry for growth.
Idris said the printing sector has significant capacity to create jobs and contribute more meaningfully to the economy, noting that a united industry would be better placed to attract government support and favourable policies.
He also pledged the Federal Government’s continued backing for initiatives aimed at improving professional standards, the operating environment and innovation within the sector.
The minister encouraged CIPPON’s leadership to carry all stakeholders along regardless of past disagreements, stressing that inclusive leadership would ensure lasting peace and sustainable progress. He also urged practitioners to embrace technological advancement to remain competitive in an increasingly digital world.
Earlier, CIPPON President and Chairman of its Governing Council, Koko T. Clement, said the Institute had made significant progress since the current council assumed office in December 2025 through engagements with key government institutions to strengthen regulation and promote industry-friendly policies.
