The General Manager of the Lagos State
Printing Corporation, Mr. Sakirudeen
Odusanya, on Monday said parents and
guardians should ensure a responsible use
of the social media by children.
He added that youngsters must be
appropriately guided on the use of the
internet to prevent them from accessing
contents that could jeopardise their lives.
Odusanya spoke at the Lagos Book Expo
organised by the Lagos State Television
with the theme, ‘Book Publishing and
Challenges of the Social Media.’
He said the social media had come to
stay, adding that a proper guidance on
which medium to visit would prevent
regrets in the future.
The LSPC boss, who was represented by
the LSPC Secretary, Mrs. Adefunke
Odutola, observed that in as much as the
social media would assist people to do
their jobs efficiently, the culture of reading
and writing books must not be abandoned.
Odusanya said the expo provided the
opportunity for individuals and firms to
showcase their equipment and products,
especially in the publishing industry.
“For instance, LSPC has new machines
and we are introducing some new products
into the market which are of high quality.
“Apart from publishers, printers are also
very relevant as we produce materials
needed for writing,” he added.
Odusanya said the present administration
in the state had embarked on initiatives
aimed at injecting a fresh breath into the
corporation, assuring the public that LSPC
would soon be part of efforts to bring the
culture of writing and reading back into the
country.
