The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has revealed that he has signed an Exchange of Notes with the Japanese Ambassador to Ghana, His Excellency Yoshimoto Hiroshi, unlocking a generous grant of 1.92 billion Japanese Yen (approximately US$13 million) for the stabilization of electricity supply in Tamale City.
In his post, Mr Ablakwa expressed his satisfaction in securing the grant, emphasising its potential to significantly improve the electricity infrastructure in Tamale, a major urban centre in the Northern region.
The grant, which will be used for the enhancement and stabilization of the city's power supply, is seen as a crucial step in addressing the growing demand for reliable electricity in the region.
“This project and many others under discussion highlight the outstanding bond of friendship between Ghana and Japan,” Mr Ablakwa wrote.
