The Managing Director of Ghana’s power distribution and retail company, Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Kwame Agyeman-Budu on Saturday joined the President of the Republic, H.E. Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to commission the Karpowership Interconnection Project at the Western Naval Command in Secondi.

MD’s was accompanied by GM of MD’s office, Dan Adjei-Larbi, GM Baiden Ebenezer, and MD’s Executive Assistant, Kwame Kyeretwie-Amponsah.
