The Board Chairman of Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo), Ambassador. Kabral Blay-Amihere, delivered a keynote address to some selected journalists at a training programme organised by Energy News Africa LTD, a global news portal operated from Accra, capital of Ghana.
The objective of the programme was to build the capacity of reporters on energy because it is a technical and complex area which requires understanding.
Amb. Blay-Amihere’s Keynote was on the theme, “GAS TO POWER: What the media needs to know to drive effective discourse”.
He laid out broad perspectives about the energy sector addressing the ABC OF THEWA SECTOR, THE ENERGY CHAIN, THE GAS FACTOR, CASH MATTERS and THE POLITICS OF ELECTRICITY among other areas.
The training had other speakers from the West African Gas Pipeline (Company WAPCo) and Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC).
Amb. Blay-Amihere expressed hope that the workshop will help enlighten participants about the challenges of the gas sector in particular and the energy sector as a whole because, “a well informed and educated media will not fall prey to the politicisation of electricity.
“When we have this kind of media, they will set the agenda, and educate the public about the real situation”.
He paid tribute to ‘WORKERS IN THE [ENERGY] SECTOR’ saying, “they are the finest you can find anywhere in the world.
They are very professional, well-educated, experienced, and very committed to their core mandate”.
