THE Managing Director of the Graphic Communications Group Limited (GCGL), Mr Ibrahim Mohammed Awal, has assured the reading public and advertisers that the completion of the company's new press project early next year will enhance the quality of the company's publications.
He said the $20-million press facility, which is at an advanced stage of completion, would enable the company to carry more colour adverts, thereby enhancing the quality of adverts.
Mr Awal gave the assurance when a delegation from the Rotary Club of Accra West paid a courtesy call on him at his office in Accra yesterday.
The visit was part of the club's monthly programme to familiarise itself with the operations of industrial concerns.
Mr Awal, therefore, appealed to the business community, including advertisers, to take advantage of the new press facility when it became operational next year to do business with the GCGL, adding, "We are always ready to partner businesses and organisations to achieve their objectives."
He noted that as the biggest media organisation in the country, the GCGL would always set the pace in quality and credibility to improve the level of journalism.
Mr Awal called on the Rotarians to patronise the company's newspapers and assured them of accuracy, balance and credibility.
The President of the Rotary Club of Accra West, Mr Ekow Paintsil, indicated that the Rotary Club was the world's first volunteer service organisation of professional leaders united to provide humanitarian services to help build goodwill and peace.
"Rotary Clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas conduct projects on challenges such as illiteracy, hunger, poverty, disease, lack of clean water and environmental concerns facing the world today, while encouraging high standards in all vocations," he said.
He said the club discussed community and international issues, adding that it was opened to every race, culture and creed.
The Past Assistant Governor of the Rotary Club of Accra West, Mr Winfred Ayi Mensah, used the opportunity to solicit sponsorship for advertisement on initiated programmes for the club's project on the eradication of polio by 2012.
