What happened to President Akufo-Addo’s pledge to go solar at the Jubilee House by August this year? As will be recalled, the President gave the assurance in Parliament during the 2019 State of the Nation Address which he delivered on Thursday, February 21, 2019. He has since repeated the refreshing pledge at several international fora including quite recently at the R20 Austrian World Summit on Climate Change, specifically, on Tuesday, May 28, 2019.   This promise has generated considerable interest both home and within the international community. It is being followed keenly particularly because our President is Co-Chair of the UN Secretary-General’s Eminent Group of Sustainable Development Goals Advocates where he is expected to lead by example on such matters especially as regards SDG 7 and 13. Having gone past the August deadline without any information on this important promise, I would hope that the Akufo-Addo led government will urgently provide the much needed update to first of all apprise Ghanaians on the status of this presidential declaration and then to avoid environmental activists and climate change advocates all over the world embarrassing the President and our country at the President’s next international engagement on the SDGs.
