Ghana’s Debt Forces Nigeria To Cut Gas Supply By 50% by Blue3k2(op): 3:24am On Apr 04, 2018

By Ediri Ejoh

There are indications that Nigeria may have reduced its gas supply to Ghana thermal power production by 50 percent (to about 60 million cubic feet of gas per day), due to its $40.3 million debt.

Report from the country’s agency, Ecofin, stated that Nigeria had since the beginning of the year been sending about 60 million cubic feet of gas per day to Ghana through the West Africa Gas Pipeline Company Limited, WAPCo.

This is less than half of the contractual volume agreed upon during the commissioning of this infrastructure in 2011 in Nigeria.

Kweku Awotwi, Board Chairman, Volta River Authority, VRA, the leading electricity producer in Ghana, noted that the contractual volume was 123 million cubic feet of gas per day and that it should help generate electricity in Ghanaian thermal power plants.

He added that since the day the agreement was signed, Nigeria had never been able to send 100 million cubic feet a day.

Meanwhile, Awotwi revealed that the volumes supplied were now prepaid by the Volta River Authority.

You're not also aware that 60% of the medium scale businesses which is the backbone of Ghana's economy are owned by Nigerians.

Don't listen to the noise from the citizens - Let one diplomat or a high profile individual make the same noise close to the discomfort of Aso Rock and watch them come here to beg.

Nigeria is like a prostitute that pays you after having a romp with her. That is the way we relate with other countries.

And yes Ghana is better than Nigeria. There's no excuse anybody wants to give. If you like say that Nigerians own the businesses in Ghana, it doesn't change anything.

Ghana is way ahead of Nigeria.

Any country that enjoys light 24/7 is Heaven compared to Nigeria. Don't gimme that bullcrap about Nigeria supplying their gas. Why can't we supply the gas here and improve our power supply?

Nigeria is a failed state. QED
