Diversify GRIDCo, ECG and VRA – Otumfuo tells govt

Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, has urged the Akufo-Addo government to face the realities of the economic landscape and prioritize policies that foster the growth of industries, leading to job creation and increased investment.
Additionally, he suggested diversifying public enterprises like the Volta River Authority (VRA) and the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo) by involving the private sector to ensure essential financial investments.

These remarks were made during the commissioning of a 430-kilometre natural gas pipeline by Genser Energy, aimed at bolstering the nation’s power sector.

“It’s about time that the government realizes that it’s not going to work for the government to be involved in setting up companies without involving the private sector, it doesn’t work. The government should confront policies and involve the private sector and you can attract more investors into the country which will create more employment “ he said
