Baptist Convention recently transforms the Baptist Press into new brand, BP Productions Limited as the new brand identity was unveiled in Ibadan, the Oyo State Capital, thereby reflecting the company’s transformation and focus on the global future of production
For the past 50 years of operations, BP Productions has been the foremost missionary printing and publishing firm in Nigeria. The brand is a foremost printing and publishing company and her consistency over the decades has sustained the company and has given her relevance in the present day highly competitive market for the printing and publishing sector in Nigeria.
Speaking at the event, the Proprietor and President of the Nigerian Baptist Convention, Revd. Dr. Israel A. Akanji, FAR said, “the Bible is full of change of names such as Sarai to Sarah; Abram to Abraham; Jacob to Israel and many more. However, it is important to note that the transformation of the brand is to allow her to provide more qualitative service to the Baptist family and all her teeming clientele.”
Also, in his welcome speech at the event, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, BP Productions, Dn. Dr. Tunji Olugbodi said, “it is time for the company to become a 21st-century production company that can produce quality prints and also become a profitable business that will be able to meet the need of Nigerians and stop capital flight in terms of publishing overseas. It is the dawn of a new era for printing and production in Nigeria”. He said
“Historically, the Press started somewhere in Port Harcourt in the early fifties by C.F. Eaglesfield Southern Baptist Convention missionary from the United States of America (USA), to take care of his printing needs. However, due to his relocation to the United States, the Press was handed over to the Nigerian Baptist Convention and was moved to Ibadan. The company was incorporated by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) on July 28, 1966”. Dr. Olugbodi added
