The Member of Parliament for Wa West Constituency, Peter Laanchene Toobu, has commended the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, for what he describes as steady leadership and improved stability in Ghana’s power sector since assuming office.
In a public message, Mr Toobu called on Ghanaians to join him in celebrating the Yapei-Kusawgu MP, noting that the Minister has managed to “keep the lights on” despite inheriting significant operational and structural challenges within the sector.
To illustrate his point, the Wa West MP shared a personal experience from the early hours of December 21, 2025, when a brief power interruption at about 2:00 a.m. disrupted his sleep. He noted that streetlights in the area remained on and that, after receiving a low-credit alert on his prepaid meter, he used the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) mobile application to top up within two minutes—after which power was promptly restored.
Mr Toobu described the incident as a practical demonstration of improvements in service delivery, system responsiveness, and customer-facing technology within the power distribution network.
“I want to salute the Honourable Minister and his entire team for the great efforts being displayed in the energy sector,”
he stated.
He extended his commendation to the Deputy Minister, the Chief Director, and the Director of Power at the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, as well as staff of the Volta River Authority (VRA), Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo), Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo), and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
Mr Toobu concluded by wishing the Energy Minister and all Ghanaians a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, expressing optimism that the recent gains in the power sector will be sustained and further strengthened in the year ahead.
