Kwara pledges support for local content
The Kwara State government has reaffirmed its commitment to promoting local content and strengthening indigenous institutions across the State.
The General Manager of the Kwara State Public Procurement Agency, QS Raheem AbdulBaki, stated this during a courtesy visit to the Kwara State Printing and Publishing Agency, publishers of “The Herald Newspapers”.
AbdulBaki, who described The Herald as a key legacy of the State that must be preserved and promoted, also emphasised the Agency’s responsibility in monitoring local content performance—an area where he noted significant progress.
He assured “The Herald” of the government’s support in restoring the newspaper to full operational capacity. He pledged to collaborate with relevant stakeholders to ensure it not only meets but surpasses expectations.
In his remarks, the General Manager of the Herald, Mr Yomi Adeboye, highlighted “The Herald’s” extensive printing and news coverage capabilities, emphasising that beyond traditional media, the organisation has the capacity to stream live programmes across digital platforms, reaching a global audience.
Adeboye further underscored “The Herald’s” readiness to partner with stakeholders to enhance the business prospects of the Kwara State Printing and Publishing Agency. He reiterated the institution’s potential to contribute significantly to the State’s media landscape while driving economic opportunities.
With this renewed government backing, “The Herald” is poised for revitalisation, reinforcing its role as a pillar of journalism and publishing in Kwara State.
The manager, however, expressed appreciation for AbdulBaki’s commitment to local content and his Agency’s support.
