Anambra govt dismisses report on planned shutdown of newspaper

The Anambra State government has dismissed as unfounded a report on the planned sale of the Anambra Newspapers and Printing Company (ANPC), publishers of the state-owned National Light Newspapers.

The state’s Commissioner for Information, Mr. Paul Nwosu, made the clarification in a statement issued on Monday in Awka.

He was reacting to a report claiming that the state government had prepared disengagement letters for at least 100 staff of the organisation without their knowledge.
