In a recent address, Ambassador (Dr) Niyi Adesoye, the President and Chairman-in-Council of the Chartered Institute of Professional Printers of Nigeria (CIPPON), underscored a set of essential strategies vital for survival in the dynamic landscape of the printing industry in 2024.
Adesoye emphasized that success in the printing sector requires a nuanced amalgamation of technical expertise, business acumen, and a creative edge. He articulated several key points aimed at guiding professionals through the intricacies of the industry.
Adesoye stressed the paramount importance of staying abreast of the latest technological trends. Professionals were urged to actively participate in industry conferences, keep themselves updated through reputable printing publications—placing special emphasis on sources such as ‘WhereToPrint’ magazine—and cultivate connections within the professional network to ensure continuous awareness and adaptability to technological shifts.
The CIPPON President highlighted the imperative of quality as the bedrock of success in the printing industry. Professionals were encouraged to maintain the highest standards in their work, advocating strategic investments in state-of-the-art equipment and premium materials. Adesoye affirmed that such commitment to quality is an investment that invariably paves the way for future prosperity.
Adesoye emphasized the indispensability of a well-structured business plan for navigating the competitive printing industry. He urged professionals to meticulously identify their target market, formulate effective marketing strategies, and establish realistic goals, outlining these as crucial components to drive the growth of their printing enterprises.
Recognizing the pivotal role of a skilled workforce, Adesoye urged professionals to assemble a team of qualified and CIPPON certified experts. The commitment of this team to delivering high-quality work, he stated, aligns with the overarching vision of the printing business and forms the bedrock for sustained success.
Highlighting the inherent tie between the printing industry and creativity, Adesoye encouraged professionals to fearlessly embrace innovation. He endorsed the experimentation with novel ideas and techniques, fostering a continuous quest for improvement. The ability to innovate, he stressed, stands as a key differentiator in the fiercely competitive realm of printing.
Ambassador (Dr) Niyi Adesoye concluded his address with a call to professionals in the printing industry to adopt and implement these strategies, positioning them on the path to resilience and success in the ever-evolving landscape of print technology.

The Air Component of Operation Hadin Kai has neutralised two senior terrorist commanders, Saddam and Saleh Garin Kago, alongside other fighters, in a precision air interdiction (AI) mission at Yuwe in the Sambisa general area of Borno.

Sources who disclosed this to Zagazola said that the early morning strike also eliminated Hussaini Ubaida and Ba Alayi Benbem, while destroying identified terrorist command hideouts and logistics warehouses.

The sources said the mission was executed at about 6:08 a.m. on Friday following confirmatory Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) on structures suspected to be terrorists’ commanders’ hideouts and storage facilities within the Yuwe axis.

“Upon confirmation of the targets, various military aircraft and platform, departed base to prosecute the mission. On reaching the objective area, the aircraft acquired and engaged the selected targets with precision-guided stores onboard,” he said.

The sources noted that post-strike battle damage assessment indicated that the identified command hubs and warehouses were effectively destroyed, significantly degrading the operational capacity of the terrorists in the Sambisa corridor.

According to the source, efforts were ongoing to confirm the identities of additional casualties resulting from the strike.

The military high command of Operation Hadin Kai has reaffirmed its commitment to sustain intelligence-driven operations aimed at dismantling terrorist leadership structures, disrupting supply chains and denying insurgents safe havens.

They stressed that the theartre command will continue to work in synergy with the Air component and other security agencies, to intensify its operations to consolidate recent gains and restore lasting peace in the North-East.

The fleeing terrorists abandoned two motorcycles and five bicycles at the scene. No casualty was recorded among the troops.

Following the encounter, the troops set ablaze structures believed to be used as life-support bases by the terrorists.

The operation later extended to Sabon Gari Fishingo, where troops conducted a cordon-and-search exercise.

During the operation, two suspected Boko Haram logistics suppliers identified as Dahiru Haruna and Salele Lawali were arrested.

Items recovered from the suspects included a large quantity of drugs, medical consumables and one tricycle, popularly known as “Jega.”

Sources said the suspects were in custody for further investigation, while the recovered items were being documented.

The operation is part of sustained offensive actions under Operation Desert Sanity aimed at dismantling terrorist enclaves and disrupting their logistics networks in the North-East.
