Azu, who was briefing the Governor during a peace meeting between traditional rulers of Ukwa West and officials of Inner Galaxy, held at Governor Otti's residence, also alleged that the company has not paid a dime to Ukwa West LGA in the past six years.
But Governor Otti, who hosted the peace meeting, directed Inner Galaxy steel company based in Umuahala Obuzor Ukwa, to evolve initiatives that can contribute positively to the socio-economic growth of the host communities and the state in extension. The Governor said that the matter involving the company showed that there was no good communication between the company and the host communities, and threatened to sanction the Chinese company if it failed to make peace with the host community.
