Staff of the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo) have resumed field services in the Tamale metropolis and its environs, restoring power supply in areas that were experiencing power outages.
This follows a visit by the Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, to Tamale on Tuesday, where he held constructive discussions with key figures, including NEDCo Management, the Mayor of Tamale, the Senior Staff Association and Union of NEDCo and VRA, the Head of National Security for the Northern Region, and the Overlord of Dagbon, Yaa Naa Mahama Abukari Gariba II.
The Minister’s visit follows an unprovoked attack on NEDCo staff by youth in Tamale, which forced NEDCo to suspend field services in the Tamale metropolis and other areas.
A statement issued by Richmond Rockson Esq., Spokesperson for the Energy Ministry, commended all parties involved for their cooperation in resolving the concerns of both workers and the chiefs.
The Ministry has called on residents of Tamale and its environs to refrain from any acts of aggression towards NEDCo and VRA staff as they carry out their lawful duties in the township.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to continuous engagement with all stakeholders to prevent future disruptions and ensure a reliable power supply for all Ghanaians.
