Pres. Mahama Blames Power Cuts On Niger Delta Militants Blowing Pipelines

Ghanaian President, John Mahama, has accused power cuts in his country on delays in delivery of crude oil from Nigeria to power thermal plants due to blow up 3 Chevron Nigeria Limited manifolds at Diogbolo, near Dibi, Warri Local Government Area of Delta State.


 According to Mahama, this is the reason Ghana’s electricity supply has taken a dip. “We have recently suffered some generational problems. I held a stakeholders’ meeting with all those involved in the power sector. Because of sabotage in Nigeria on the terminals, crude oil that we ordered last month has not arrived; and so, it has created some generational problem for us,” said Mahama.

He, however, assured Ghanaians that things would be normalised soon, saying: “We are taking steps every day to ensure that Ghana has security when it comes to power.”

 President Muhammadu Buhari said;
“The way they can go on high sea and international waters and target oil installations is a national problem. It is affecting development,” President Buhari had said.
