Abia State Government has assured the management of the International Glass Industry Limited Aba that the Government will do everything necesary to assist it.
International Glass Industry in Aba, which has the capacity to employ over 5000 workers, was neglected by previous governments in then Imo and later Abia, but Gov. Ikpeazu took a bold step in reactivating it when he appointed Mr. Kelechi Onuiri as the General Manager of the Industry.
Few months after his appointment, Onuiri has worked energetically and with full support of the Governor the Industry has resumed production after about one year of non-activity.
Inspecting different sections of the company, the Governor, Dr. Okezie Ikpeazu commended the new management for implementing the vision of the Government in creating employments which is a key factor in developing the state. He said he was interested in seeing how best reactivating State own industries will attract more job opportunities and thereby grossly reduce poverty rate in the State. He hopes that as Golden Gunea Breweries will be producing soon, the company will complement it.
