The President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, in his first State of the Nation Address to Parliament, has revealed frantic efforts by his administration to curtail the nation�s ugly erratic power supply, which continues to leave a sour taste in the mouths of Ghanaians. The president called on the citizenry to gird their loins in this terrible moment; since work is underway to solve the problem. �As president, I am adequately aware of the challenges and the extreme discomfort that this is causing to the generality of our people and business. Indeed Mr. Speaker, this situation causes me sleepless nights�, he said. He noted that since power was critical to the development of the country, he would go the extra mile to speed up works at the energy sector which has a direct bearing on productivity at the industrial and the agricultural sectors. Though the Command in Chief of the Ghana Armed Forces pledged his allegiance to work on the power crisis, he failed not to mention that adequate funds was needed to improve infrastructure to meet the country�s energy demand which is increasing. President Mahama professed on the floor of Parliament that the current situation was nothing good any government can write home about and that the magnitude of the crisis, has caused him sleepless nights. President Mahama assured Ghanaians that despite the challenges facing the nation at this crucial moment, Ghana, will increase power generation to ensure we have reliable power supply and become a net exporter of power in years to come. He noted that the country would explore other sources of energy, such as solar and biomas, to increase power generation and to make the nation has a comparative advantage over its neighbours. Touching on measures the government has begun to increase power generation; President Mahama observed that his administration has made good progress in fixing the damage done to the West African gas pipeline. �..we have had to work around the clock to bring in many plants into operation earlier than we had scheduled while we wait the restoration of the plants affected by the absence of gas from the West African gas pipeline,� he added.
