The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo), Ing Ebenezer Kofi Essienyi and some top officials of the company have paid a working visit to the Management of the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) to foster collaboration between the two state institutions.
In a post on Facebook sighted by energynewsafrica.com, it said key among the issues discussed was the need for the GNFS to help prevent fires at GRIDCo’s substations and other power distribution infrastructures nationwide.
Ghana recently experienced a nationwide power outage as a result of a raging bushfire that touched GRIDCo’s high-voltage lines near Tarkwa in the Western Region.
The timely arrival of the fire tender from the Tarkwa Goldfields prevented the destruction of GRIDCo’s power installation in the area.
According to the post, Ing Ebenezer Kofi Essienyi thanked the Service for the audience and reception offered to him and his team.
The CEO’s entourage also included Ing Bernard Kwabena Asante Gyan, Director-Technical Services; Mr Samuel Kow Acquah, Manager of Strategy Risk and Compliance, and Ing Wofa Kojo Kwarteng, Special Assistant to the Chief Executive.
Present at the meeting on behalf of the Service were ACFO II George Wiafe, Deputy Director – Fire Safety Education; DO1 David Sam Afful, Assistant Director of Investigations; DO1 Michael Ato Korsah, Deputy Director-Fire Certification; DO II Ernest Ampene of Investigation Directorate; DO III Husbert Atobra Nyame-Boame of the Safety Directorate and DO III Ackah Desmond, Deputy National Public Relations Officer.
