General Manger, Rivers State Newspaper Corporation (RSNC), Mr. Celestine Ogolo (2nd right), with members of 1980 Graduating Set of County Grammar School, Ikwerre Etche, with their spouses, during the reception held in honour of three of its members recently given appointments by the Rivers State Governor at Shell RA, Port Harcourt, recently.

Baring  any change in de
cision and policy, the management of the Rivers State Newspaper Corporation (RSNC) may send some of its printers to Lagos for a refresher course in printing to enhance quality-service delivery.
The General Manager of the Corporation, Mr Celestine Ogolo, who said this at the 3rd state Triennial Delegates conference of the National Union of Printing, Publishing and Paper Products Workers (NUPPPPROW) in Port Harcourt, said that the move was to ensure that printers in the Corporation acquire the necessary skills to handle the Goss Rotary Machine procured for the corporation by the state government.
Ogolo praised members of the union in the corporation for their level of dedication and commitment to duty, and urged them not to relent.
He also assured them, management would not stand on their promotion, adding that no staff of the corporation would be denied promotion on account of qualification.
Also speaking, the permanent secretary, ministry of Information and Communication, Mr Sam Woka, who was represented by a Director in the Ministry, Mr Tonye Jenewari, charged them to see the conference as an opportunity to elect quality leaders for the union.
The Deputy National President of the union, Pastor John Ushie, regretted the continuous delay in the delivery of machines to  the Government Printing Press in spite of the alleged release of money for its purchase.
Ushie, who condemned the alleged auctioning of printing machines at the Government Printing Press, called on the Nigerian Labour Congress (NLC) to wade into the matter with a view to stopping the sale of machines at Government Printing Press, Port Harcourt.
He also called for recruitment of new staff into the service as workers at the printing press were ageing.
Earlier, the South-South Zonal Chairman of the union, Comrade Godwin .S. Williamson, decried the deplorable condition of the Government Printing Press, adding that most staff of the printing press were retiring without replacement.
“More worrisome is that the press is growing into extinction. Our members are getting retired without replacement.
“By this time next year, we shall have not less than 20 members. So we appeal to government to employ more hands to learn from and replace the old ones as they retire,” he said.
At the end of the congress, Abraham Amesi was returned as chairman of The Tide Chapter, Prince Kennedy Daminabo returned as vice chairman, Nwiueh Donatus Ken as Secretary, Patience Owiriwa, treasurer and Daba Bille as assistant secretary.
For the Government Printing Press chapter Saturday Osega was returned as chairman, Nugha Gbooga as vice chairman, Iyie Johnbull as secretary, Oloelomate Idoniboye as assistant secretary and Felicia Igochindu as treasurer.
