Arrangements are reported to have been concluded for Ghana to become "a major exporter" of electricity to Nigeria and other West African countries.
Ghana's deputy Minister of Energy, speaking at the fifth Aelex Lecture, in a paper titled, "How Ghana Kept The Light On", said,: "Ghana wants to be a major exporter of electricity and arrangements have been made for this". Nigeria has declared a force majure in its supply of free flow of gas to Ghana. But this is not unexpected as we have, for long, planned an alternative for this even before we appended our signatures on the West African Gas Pipeline document".
The story now is that we have discovered abundant gas in our west corridor. And even with this, we will not limit our source of power generation to gas"
"Supply of adequate, reliable and economically priced power supply is vital for the socio-economic development of every nation. It has been observed that the GDP growth rate of a nation has direct relationship with the growth in the per capita electricity consumption.
"The development of the various sectors of the economy, such as industry, agriculture, health, education, tourism, among others, depends heavily on reliable, adequate and economically priced power supply.
"The vision of energy sector of Ghana is to provide adequate and reliable energy supplies to all sectors of the Ghanaian economy to support socio-economic development, poverty reduction and also for export".

confused. Is this a real article with truthful statement or just made up ones. Angola (maybe) they surpassed Nigeria in oil exportation but Ghana is way below in it. So i'm confused here or do they mean solar power? or some other type of electricity source cause it's definately not oil. Confusing article

And another thing, According to CIA factbook, Nigeria surpasses Ghana in electricity consumpation and everything concerning electricity so that's why i'm confused. The article makes no sense, it contradicts what the CIA factbook says. Do they mean Angola or Libya instead of Ghana? it'll make alot better sense if it's was those two nation. I'm confused so can someone help me out understand it.
