The Minister of Energy, says Ghana’s oil production under President Akufo-Addo is unmatched.
The Ministry said President Akufo-Addo’s vision has led to discovery of more oil wells.
In a press statement issued on Tuesday, February 7, the Ministry thus said former President John Dramani Mahama’s claimof no additional production activity in our upstream oil sector under Akufo-Addo is is inaccurate.
It thus asked Ghanaians to disregard the claims by the former President.
“For the record, under Akufo-Addo’s presidency, Ghana has seen an unprecedented oil wells success rate from all exploration drilled from 2017 to date.
“Out of seven exploration wells drilled during the period, six of them were successful in seven discoveries.”
Mr Mahama in a tweet on Monday, said teh government’s ineptitude has led to no production in the oil sector.
The former President added this is backed greed by those in power.
“Wasted years! We bequeathed to the Akufo-Addo gov’t two new oil fields, TEN and Sankofa.
“Greed and ineptitude as against national interest means a sad reality of no additional production activity in our upstream oil sector in the last 7 years.”
This, the Energy Ministry says it has been compelled to respond.
