The Committee of Inquiry, set up by Abia State Governor Okezie Ikeazu PhD, to look into the issue of the dissension arising at the INNER GALAXY GROUP, the Chinese firm in Abịa State has concluded the public investigation into the matter.

The Committee kicked off the probe with a preliminary meeting with the Inner Galaxy Management and their legal team, where the committee directed them to make available all relevant record books of the company relating to the areas of inquiry and complaints received.

Subsequently, the Committee also had similar meetings with concerned government agencies and individuals both at the Federal and State levels.

Afterwards, the Committee held a public hearing where different members of the public and concerned organisations came and testified against/for the company.

Lastly, the committee visited the company to ascertain all they have heard and make their own findings.

During the visit to the Inner Galaxy Industrial Park, Ahala Ukwu Village, Umuahala Community, Obuzor Ukwu, Ukwa West L.G.A., Abia State, the committee members were taken to different places of interest; the factories, the company’s Clinic where they met some of the company’s workers admitted and receiving treatment, the cafeteria, newly built lavatory, hostels and other places.

The committee rounded off the visit with an exclusive Town Hall Meeting with workers of the company where the top management of the Company were excused from participating which enabled the workers to bare their minds freely with no fear of victimization.
