The Ministry of Energy appears to be leaving no stone unturned in the quest to attract massive investment into the sector.
At a GIPC organized Investment Forum in Dubai which had President Akufo-Addo as keynote speaker, Deputy Energy Minister, Andrew Egyapa Mercer reiterated the call for investors to flock to the sector for business.
In a panel discussion on the opportunities in Ghana’s Sanitation and Energy sectors preceding the President’s address, Mr Mercer said the country’s petroleum and power sectors have numerous opportunities for win-win arrangements between government and the private sector.
“Our Petroleum and Power sectors are ready to partner you” he mentioned.
For his part, Nana Akufo-Addo further touted Ghana’s respect for human rights and the principles of democratic accountability as the critical basis for investors to have enormous confidence in investing in Ghana.
“Three times, in our current republic, political power has been successfully transferred from a ruling government to the opposition seamlessly. It tells you the nature of the Ghanaian people, demonstrating it through these peaceful transfers.”
The President urged the GIPC to collaborate with the various sectors to attract significant investment into the economy.
