Barely hours after Samuel Dubik Mahama resigned as Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), many are left wondering whether his successor can effectively address the ongoing energy crisis, commonly known as “dumsor.”
Recently, residents in areas such as Lapaz, Abokobi, Taifa, North Legon, Kasoa, and Tema faced intermittent power outages, raising concerns about the reliability of electricity supply.
Yawa News Online sought insights from Chief Executive Officer of the Center for Environmental Management and Sustainable Energy (CEMSE), Benjamin Nsiah, regarding Mr.Mahama’s resignation.
According to Benjamin Nsiah, Managing Director Samuel Dubik was forced to resign due to his inability to resolve the challenges plaguing the energy sector.
“Samuel Dubik Mahama just added to the problems that the energy sector was facing,” he stated.
When asked about the upcoming appointment of a new managing director, Mr. Nsiah emphasized the need for someone with the technical expertise to tackle the current crisis effectively.
As speculation grows about who will take the helm at ECG, many hope that the new director will be the key to resolving the energy sector’s longstanding issues.
