The North-East Geopolitical Zone with six states as its integral part has not been doing well in terms of industrialization despite the large presence of commercial activities that should have caused the establishment of industries in the region.
More so, the small scale business ventures have refused to grow into medium scale. While the medium scale are dosing, and some had completely died while others had folded-up due to financial and management challenges that are always pulling down businesses as a result of human error.
The agricultural potentials, her large market for goods and services should have given the birth to agro-allied industries because of the availability of raw materials in the region.
The presence of few companies in the region is not doing badly in their own capacity in production of goods and services. Likes of Ramadan Press Limited and others is a twinkle of hope for the business environment of Bauchi State.
Anyone who is conversant with Bauchi town, its business and commercial activities must have heard of Ramadan Press Limited. I will in this piece put it to any commuter plying Jos – Maiduguri must have passed by Ramadan House along Maiduguri by pass Bauchi State.
One may ask, why Ramadan Press Limited. My first contact with this company was as far back as 2014 when my company Inland Enterprises competed in a bidding for a job of printing and publishing for National Teachers Institute (NTI) Kaduna. At that bidding I can still recall their performance which is worth commending. Therefore, what attracted me of late to Ramadan Press Limited is her ability to grow and spring up as one of the press to be recon with in the printing industry in the North-East and Nigeria at large.

At the international rating my findings reveal her state-of-the-art equipment and facilities including the provisions of high quality jobs has placed Ramadan Press Limited on the international standard. “One hundred different sophisticated machines, subsidiary offices, clients from all over the nation and an annual turnover of over one billion naira depicts progress, growth, dedication and productivity”.
To further take an inside look into this company which started as a small scale business outfit with a loan of Sixty Thousand Naira (#60,000.00) obtained from the Bauchi State Small Scale Industry Scheme in1977. Looking at that sum of money, I will personally give kudos to the Bauchi State Government for loaning out such a huge amount of money.
Forty-five years along the line Ramadan Press Limited has made an impact in growth, dedication and productivity in the printing space. This was informed as a result of visionary and purposeful leadership, hardworking, committed and productive members of staff including the enabling environment created by the Bauchi State Government.
It might interest you to know that Ramadan Press Limited is outstanding in Labour Management Relations.” Various labour initiatives by management have positioned members of staff to always give their best to the company. “
