I’m aware that in 1979, the federal government established this press, and it served the community where gazettes and bulletins were produced.

“But upon relocations of the capital city to Abuja, the Federal Government Press were no longer utilized, today its been abandoned and all we have doing there is ceremonies, parties, and events.
