President John Mahama has announced that his administration has successfully averted a potential power crisis that threatened the country.
Speaking at the swearing-in ceremony of six newly appointed ministers at the Jubilee House on Wednesday, the President revealed that proactive measures had been taken to secure the energy supply amidst scheduled maintenance on the West African Gas Pipeline.

“The previous government did not work to ensure the smooth running of the energy sector by neglecting to arrange enough fuel to power our thermal plants,” President Mahama stated.
He explained that the maintenance work on the gas pipeline, a critical source of fuel for the thermal plants in the eastern enclave, posed a significant threat to the country’s power supply.
“Through determined efforts, I can report that we have now averted the looming threat of power outages and have begun delivering fuel to the thermal plants in the east, in advance of the shutdown of the West African Gas Pipeline,” the President added.
He also commended the new Energy Minister, John Jinapor, for his hard work in addressing the issue promptly.
