The Abdul Samad Rabiu Africa Initiative (ASR Africa) has flagged off the construction of the Abdul Samad Rabiu Integrated Publishing House worth N280 million at Babcock University in the Ilishan-Remo area of Ogun State.
ASR Africa said the project will enhance the capacity of Babcock University from basic press status to a modern, integrated publishing house to encompass publishing, print production, and other related diversified services.
The one-storey building facility, according to the Initiative, will also serve as a laboratory and studio for training students of communications, media studies, and allied disciplines as well as other disciplines.
Speaking at the groundbreaking event on Thursday, July 25, 2024, the Vice-Chancellor of Babcock University, Prof. Ademola Tayo, expressed satisfaction at the nomination by ASR Africa, under its Tertiary Education Grant Scheme.
Tayo added that the choice of the project was a response to the vision to take the Mass Communication Department of the University to a new level.

According to him, the university’s vision is to produce young men and women capable of critical thinking, and problem-solvers capable of proffering innovative solutions to problems of everyday life – social, political, and cultural.
In his response, the Managing Director of ASR Africa, Dr Ubon Udoh, expressed delight at the university’s choice of establishing an Integrated Publishing House.
Udonh noted that when information is appropriately applied, human society is empowered to liberate itself from limitations and attain its full potential.
He further reiterated the commitment of the Chairman of ASR Africa, Abdul Samad Rabiu, to supporting quality education within the tertiary education system in Nigeria and urged the institution to focus on the sustainability of the project.
He also reiterated the importance of cooperation and collaboration between the university and the contractor for the timely delivery of the publishing house.
