Ghana has secured a significant grant of 1.92 billion Japanese Yen (approximately $13 million) from the Japanese government to stabilize electricity supply in Tamale City.
This grant is a testament to the strong diplomatic ties between Ghana and Japan, and is expected to enhance the reliability of electricity supply in Tamale and its surrounding areas.
The agreement was formalized through an Exchange of Notes signed between Ghana’s Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, and Japan’s Ambassador to Ghana, Yoshimoto Hiroshi, on Monday, March 10, 2025.
Minister Ablakwa emphasized the significance of the grant, stating that it reflects the outstanding bond of friendship between Ghana and Japan.
This project aims to address frequent power fluctuations that have impacted businesses and households in Tamale.
Japan has been a long-standing development partner of Ghana, supporting various sectors, including infrastructure, healthcare, and education.
Government officials are optimistic that the project will boost economic activities in Tamale, a key commercial hub in the Northern Region, and improve living conditions for residents.
