Authorities stressed that the project reflects the government’s commitment to maintaining safe and healthy workplaces. They said improvements are part of a broader initiative to enhance public service facilities.

Finally, the repairs at the Government Printery demonstrate proactive steps to address long-standing issues. Authorities will continue monitoring progress to ensure timely completion.
