Clients describe Galaxy’s payment of petitioners unfair

By Lazarus Zakaa, Abuja.

Galaxy Transportation and Construction Services Ltd has since commenced settling it’s clients after eight months of suspended payment.

In a statement released by Mr. Abdulhamid Ibrahim, media consultant to the managing director, Babagana Abba Dalori, confirmed that some of the petitioners were indeed paid.

Mr Ibrahim explained that the “company is open to whatever option that will resolve the lingering differences between her and the petitioners, noting that ‘it key in stabilizing our general operations and make the payments even faster”

He further explained that the “some people are receiving alert, I have to say that I feel bitter about the company’s decision to settle the petitioners without considering those of us who chose to reason with them”.

Though he did not give enough details, he explained that the company is negotiating with some of them and that the payments were part of conditions to settle the matter between the two parties.

“It is against the confidentiality clause governing the company’s relationship with its clients to disclose their names. Besides I do not personally have those details”.

“But yes, the company is negotiating with some of them. And yes, after the last payment, some of them have approached the management of the company saying that they will close their case if they will be considered in subsequent payments”.

“What we did was to go back and look at our payment schedule, and we tried to review the criteria. For instance, for every 150 clients on schedule, we consider a few of the petitioners. So it is wrong to allege that it is selective. The general payment is not affected at all”.

“And let it also be known that regardless of whether you wrote petition or not, as long as your money is with the company, you will be paid and as you are aware this has already commenced with three batches already down”.

He however said, the continued detention of the CEO is affecting the company’s operations greatly. It is only wise to resolve these differences in the interest of both parties and everyone involved,’ he finally added.
