he would be an ideal candidate for the position of CEO of Ghana National Gas Company. Mr. President @JDMahama appointing him would greatly benefit the youth of Nzema and beyond, who are facing significant challenges.
Kofi Anaman is a distinguished oil and gas expert with decades of experience working with International Oil Companies (IOCs) and a strong background in policy analysis. As a grassroots leader who commands widespread respect across Nzema and the Western Region,
The NDC will continue to uphold the tenets of our Constitution and will continue to defend our rights and stand up to all who refuse to work in the Supreme interest of the good people of Ghana.
Kindly follow the press conference on the ongoing voter’s registration and matters arising .
Thank you

You are languishing in darkness and heat because the flatfooted braggarts who call themselves the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government have destroyed the economy and do not have a dime to purchase fuel to fire thermal plants to produce power.
This is after they inherited excess generation capacity,ESLA which has yielded close to GHS 25 billion to date and a Gas processing plants which has reduced fuel importation for power generation by $ 300 million.
In addition to all this,they have shown contempt and disrespect to you by blatantly refusing to publish a dumsor timetable.
If this is not the definition of a hopeless government,then I do not know what is.

TEMA-MPAKADAN RAILWAY PROJECT; A RAILWAY LINE TO NOWHERE
1. The erstwhile NDC government, led by the visionary Nation Builder, H.E. John Dramani Mahama, initiated the Tema to Akosombo (now Mpakadan) railway project as part of the country’s strategy to build a multi-modal transportation network to improve connectivity between the Tema Port and the northern parts of the country and beyond.
2. The project was intended to improve the transportation of goods (not just passengers) such as cement, fuel products, and other cargos from the Tema Port to the northern parts of the country and to landlocked countries such as Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger and vice versa.
3. Pursuant to this vision, the erstwhile NDC/Mahama government in November 2016, secured funding to the tune of $398 million from the EXIM Bank of India for the design and construction of an 84km railway line from Tema to the Lake Volta Port of Akosombo. Cabinet and Parliamentary approvals for the facility were secured before the NDC left office. (For evidence, see https://t.co/QkD1RsFhNd)
4. To ensure the viability of the project, the erstwhile NDC/Mahama government began engagements with the EXIM Bank of India for additional funds for the development of the Lake Volta Port at Akosombo. This was intended to facilitate the easy transportation of cargos via the Volta Lake to and from the northern parts of the country and beyond.
5. Sadly, the inept Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government upon assuming office, failed to follow through with the original vision behind the project. Aside delaying the project for several years, the government failed to secure funding for the development of the lake transportation leg of the project.
6. All this government has done, is to secure additional funding of $48 million to extend the original 84km railway line by 13km from Akosombo to Mpakadan for some technical considerations.
7. It is instructive to note, that Mpakadan has no port, while the Volta Lake Port at Akosombo which was supposed to be developed to allow for the lake transportation of cargos to and from the northernmost parts of the country, has been neglected by the ruling NPP government in the last eight years that they have been in office.
8. As things stand now, the Tema-Mpakadan railway line can only transport passengers from Tema through Afienya, North Tongu, Lower Manya Krobo to Mpakadan. As exciting as that may sound relative to the easing of traffic on the Afienya stretch, the project is not viable without the lake transportation of cargos from the Tema port to the northern part of Ghana and vice versa.
9. In short, the original intention of the NDC/Mahama government to build the Tema to Akosombo (now Mpakadan) railway line, to improve connectivity between Tema Port and the country’s northern region, has been abandoned by the visionless Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government. This defeats the main purpose and viability of the railway project and renders it, “a RAILWAY TO NOWHERE”.
10. It should therefore be obvious to any objective mind that:
I) The Tema to Akosombo (now Mpakadan) railway project, is a legacy of the NDC/Mahama government, which secured funding for 84km of the project in November 2016.
Only a government that suffers from a gratitude and credibility deficit like the ruling Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government can attempt to dispute this indisputable fact.
The Mills/Mahama/NDC government, acknowledged that the N1 Highway was the accomplishment of the Kufuor-led NPP government even though the entire work was virtually done during the tenure of Mills/Mahama. Similarly, the Mills/Mahama/NDC government did not take the credit for the construction of the Bui Dam even though their administration borrowed additional funds to see to the completion of the project. This mark of true leadership must be emulated by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government.
WHICH INDUSTRIES WILL THE 24-HOUR ECONOMY STRATEGY FOCUS ON?
The 24-hour economy strategy will primarily, but not exclusively, focus on:
1. 24-hour Agro-processing
2. 24-hour Pharmaceutical industry
3. 24-hour Manufacturing industry
4. 24-hour Construction
5. 24-hour Extractive industry (mining and quarrying)
6. 24-hour Sanitation and waste management
7. 24-hour Leisure and hospitality industry
8. 24-hour Digital start-ups and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO)
9. 24-hour Financial services
10. 24-hour Retail centers & morden markets
11. 24-hour Transportation services
12. Also, selected public institutions with large customer traffic such as Ports and Harbors, Customs, Passport Office, DVLA, among others will be part of the 24-hour economy.
13. The 24-hour economy will also be implemented within the context of other national development initiatives, such as education and training, health services, agriculture, the provision of affordable housing for workers, efficient public transport, efficient justice delivery, among others. It
is all part of an ambitious drive by the NDC/ Mahama administration to take Ghana to the next level in the global economy.
There will be no limit to the sectors the 24-hour Economy will target.

Bawumia and Akufo-Addo inherited 5,000MW generation capacity, the $1 billion Atuabo Gas plant which saves $300M in fuel imports annually,ESLA which has yielded GHS 24B.Yet they owe $1.5B(~GHS 20 B) to IPPs and cannot buy fuel so you are sleeping in darkness.Worst gov't ever!
NPP in crisis! Attacks, suspicions, mistrust amongst top leadership. Power struggle, disagreements on VP pick, Flagbearer in limbo, uninspiring messaging, disagreements on philosophy and policy directions, disenchanted party base etc etc. Yet we are to keep quiet because it’s NPP 🤷♂️ #NPPinCrisis
The 24-hour economy is designed to create new employment opportunities, particularly for young people, address unemployment, and enhance living standards in Ghana. NDC government will enact new laws to support businesses operating 24/7, including labour laws and tax incentives.
Hakeem Mahama, NDC Deputy Western Regional Youth Organizer, has generously donated GHS24,000 as fuel allowance for the 17 constituency youth organizers in the Western Region. This generous gesture will motivate the youth organizers as they diligently work towards victory 2024.
Fuel at Shell Pumps in Ghana is going for 14.99 cedis for just 1 litre
In Mahama’s time when you were brainwashed to believe you were living in hell, a whole gallon of fuel was 14 cedis
This is the State Of Nothing Address.

@konkrumah The driver who taught me driving isn't a good driver. Give me the car and see how better I can drive. How can you tell Ghanaians this? Such a waste
