While commissioning the project at the UNIUYO Main Campus at Nwaniba, Uyo, the state capital yesterday, the VC said the new innovation became necessary to enhance teaching, learning, and research for academics nationwide.
The managing director (MD) of Press and Digital Limited, Mr Kufre Paul, lamented that African authors are daily losing their identity and cultural heritage due to the lack of preservation of their workers, assuring that the machine will fill the void.
He said that the UNIUYO press, through its “Project Africa Initiative,” would ensure that books and stories of African descent are preserved and stored for students and people of the 21st century.
