Ghanaian workers used International Workers’ Day known globally as May Day to call on President Akufo-Addo to ensure that the erratic power supply in the country is resolved as soon as possible.
The Secretary General of the Trades Union Congress, the umbrella body of Ghanaian workers, described the resurfacing of the power crisis experienced some years ago in the country as regrettable.
“Regrettably, people have to experience ‘dumsor’ again. Please do something about the ‘dumsor’ now,” Dr Yaw Baah said in an address to mark this year’s May Day celebration at the Black Star Square in Accra, the capital of Ghana.
Addressing the workers at the same event, President Akufo-Addo observed that the power challenges being experienced across the country are being resolved.
He said the power situation has improved, following the completion of the maintenance works on the transformers of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
President Akufo-Addo assured the people of Ghana that they would not experience the erratic power supply (dumsor) again.
“Issues surrounding the maintenance of the transformers have been resolved. Indeed, we have witnessed a stable power supply across the country with no load shedding reported anywhere yesterday…I am confident that the unfortunate era of dumsor will not return,” he said
