Sure, here is a simplified and rewritten version of the blog post with HTML tags for clarity:

<div>
  <p>Every year, Nigeria loses over N200 billion because many books get printed in other countries. This information comes from the Gutenberg Prints Association of Nigeria (GUPPAN).</p>

  <p>Adekunle Adebambo, the President of GUPPAN, talked about this in a meeting in Abuja. The meeting was about how printing businesses can help Nigeria grow and what challenges they face. This was reported by the News Agency of Nigeria.</p>

  <p>Adebambo said that Nigeria can print enough books to meet everyone's needs. This would help the country's economy grow and create more jobs.</p>

  <p><em>“Nigeria can do all the printing we need. If we do this, it will help our country grow and create jobs,”</em> he said.</p>

  <p>He also mentioned that many of the books used by students in Nigeria are still printed in other countries, which costs a lot of money and doesn't help local businesses.</p>

  <h4><strong>What They Said</strong></h4>

  <p><em>“Every year, Nigeria spends up to N200 billion on printing books in other countries. If we work together, we can print these books here, create more jobs, and reduce unemployment,”</em> Adebambo stated.</p>

  <p>GUPPAN also asked the government and the Ministry of Education to allow more students to learn about printing in schools.</p>

  <p>If more people could study printing, Nigeria would have better-trained workers who can help the industry grow and improve.</p>

  <p>He believes that working together with schools can provide a strong foundation for the printing industry, getting ready for the future.</p>

  <p>Getting better at printing is important, Adebambo added. Leaders in the printing industry should know a lot about it to keep standards high.</p>

  <p><em>“We need to have high standards. This way, we can build a strong and fair printing industry,”</em> he said.</p>

  <h4><strong>More Insights</strong></h4>

  <ul>
    <li>The challenges for GUPPAN include not enough education, weak leadership, and not enough support from rules.</li>
    <li>But, the Association wants to build a well-regulated printing industry so Nigeria can compete globally.</li>
    <li>Adebambo said with more support, Nigeria's printing can become world-class.</li>
  </ul>

  <p><em>“Now is the time to fix past mistakes, follow the rules, and bring back honesty to the printing industry,”</em> he noted.</p>

  <p>He asked the media to help spread this message to ensure Nigeria’s printing becomes a source of national pride and innovation.</p>
