The management of Zamama digital printing services in Abuja has said, the company is heading to Court for alleged assassination of character in the face of the right thinking members of its society by Mr. Cyprian Oligbi.
Recall that Cyprian Oligbi who is a member of #Change@CIPPON North WhatsApp group warned his printing colleagues against patronizing the press . He wrote: ” Warning! Warning!! Warning!!! Don’t take printing job to Zamama Komori Press in Apo! If you do, they will go behind you and snatch your customers from you. They will even go with a sample of the job to your customers/company and tell them they are the one running the job for you. To be foretold is to be forewarned. I rest my case”
In the cause of Printers Digest magazine’s investigation on the alleged information, we spoke to the aggrieved on phone who said, the Managing Director of the company had contacted him after investigations and confirmed that his allegations were true and apologized to him but later, he got a call from the company’s consultant who told him that he should be prepared to meet them at court for defamation
For fairness, balance and accuracy, Printers Digest called Mr. Ike Ojemiwe, the MD of Zamama on phone to hear his side of the story. He neither deny nor accept the allegation but insisted we speak with his company’s consultant before publication
All effort to get the consultant contact number from him and the aggrieved proved abortive as at the time for this publication.
Reacting, print stakeholders said Mr. Cyprian Oligbi is bold enough to come out publicly to air his grievances as customers poaching is a common occurrences in the industry and called on the Chartered Institute of Professional Printers of Nigeria (CIPPON) to investigate into the alleged matter and provide lasting solution
According to Simeon Aguedu “Fair hearing is equally important. However, without prejudice to the findings of the investigation, I dare to say that this has been a disturbing complaint over the years, and up till now. In the 90s, I stopped patronizing a particular press over this same allegation. In fact my fears were confirmed when I found myself competing for patronage with that same press in one of the most reputable organizations then. The experience was sour and better forgotten”.
Also, Ola Oladunni Olasubomi said: “CIPPON Executives should look into this matter and take a decisive action!
In addition, Lawal Jakada said: “This is a serious allegation of breach of trust and customer snatching. Our business relationships should be, factual, beneficial and symbiotic. I urge the CIPPON Secretariat to investigate, evaluate and take necessary action”.
One of the Council member of CIPPON, Mr. Niyi Adesoye condemned the act. His words : “This is totally unacceptable in the industry. Necessary action will be taken and the institute will act accordingly.
