President Kufuor will today meet President Olusegun Obasanjo in Cotonou, Benin today to finalize energy supply negotiations which will see Ghana benefiting from at least a hundred megawatts of power from Nigeria.
The meeting is being held on the sidelines of the inauguration of an energy interconnectivity project from Nigeria to Benin and Togo.
The inauguration is as a result of an agreement between Nigeria on one hand and Benin and Togo on the other for the supply of 80 megawatts of energy to the two countries.
According to a statement from the Castle, the event will afford President Kufuor the opportunity to conclude negotiations with his Nigerian counterpart President Olusegun Obasanjo on how Ghana will benefit from the interconnectivity by way of extending the energy supply to Ghana.
The two Presidents initiated the energy supply negotiations on the sidelines of the recent AU Summit in Addis Ababa.
Another aspect of the President’s trip will focus on the prospect of retrieving 80 megawatts of energy that Ghana supplies to Togo and Benin following their discovery of a new energy supply source in Nigeria.
A Ghanaian team of experts is already in Cotonou to meet with their counterparts in the three countries to examine the technicalities of the arrangements.
