Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama has renamed the Ministry of Energy to the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition as part of his administration’s plan to restructure the country’s civil service for efficiency and cost reduction.
The new administration has reduced the number of ministries from 30 to 23, as stated in the Civil Service Instrument, 2025, signed by President Mahama on January 9, 2025.
The renaming is believed to align with Ghana’s Energy Transition policy, focusing on advancing green energy, low-carbon power generation, energy efficiency and decarbonisation of oil and gas production.
The Ministry would be headed by Honourable John Abdulai Jinapor, the Member of Parliament for Yapei-Kusawgu and former Deputy Minister for Power.
