John Mahama (Ghanaian’s
president)speaking at the Global Business and Economic Forum in Dubai
yesterday October 1st,
"We have given priority to
electricity generation in our country. We have prioritized energy in such a way
that we want to become the hub for power production in West Africa. We want to
generate electricity to the point that excess power can be exported to Nigeria,
Ivory Coast and other countries that have power deficit,” he said.
He said to achieve this, his country secured
export-import financing from China and also got special funds from Abu Dhabi to
commence series of power generation projects. He added that development of a
third hydropower dam was already at an advanced stage in Ghana.
