Even though Ghana still imports gas via the West African Gas Pipelines from Nigeria, indications have emerged that the Ghana Gas Company (GGC) internalized government’s efforts at synchronizing all activities across the gas value chain.
This is coming barely one week after the government of Nigeria sealed a gas pipeline deal to connect northern part of the country through Abuja Gas pipeline. The deal was finalized and sealed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) with a local investor.
A statement by the Ghana News Agency (GNA), quoted a Senior Manager, Engineering and Maintenance of the GGC, Maxwell Kally, as saying that “The synchronisation has ensured that all the necessary tie-ins are done with relevant stakeholders in maintaining a world class facility tied around efficiency and effective service delivery that met international best practices”.
He gave the details during a briefing exercise on the success chalked during the 24-day shutdown period for maintenance and repairs as well as expansion works on the facility to Journalists in the Western Region.
The maintenance, he said had helped to improve on reliable energy supply as well as built resilient infrastructure that would ultimately culminate to growth of businesses and larger industries.
“We are ready to supply to any potential investor wishing to do business in the country”, he said.
The period of the maintenance according of him recorded no lost time injury, adding that safety was cardinal in all the stages of maintenance.
