The Minister for Energy and Green Transition, John Abdulai Jinapor, will commission completed rural electrification projects in 13 communities within the Central Gonja District of the Savanna Region on Saturday, October 11, 2025. The beneficiary communities include Zolampe, Nikpegu, Torope, Dokope, Kpatinyan, Darivogupe, Bagpe, Dawunipe, Diwurupe, Larigbani, Mammudupe, Sankaupe, and Nyinyape.
This initiative forms part of the government’s efforts to expand access to reliable and affordable electricity, improve the quality of life in rural areas, and promote inclusive economic growth under the National Electrification Scheme. The commissioning ceremony will bring together traditional authorities, opinion leaders, officials of the Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo), the Central Gonja District Assembly, and members of the beneficiary communities.
The government is committed to ensuring equitable access to modern energy services across the country. As Minister Jinapor noted, “Electricity is not just about lighting homes; it is about powering opportunity, driving enterprise, and transforming lives.” The project supports Ghana’s green transition agenda and sustainable development goals, aiming to bridge the urban-rural energy gap and support sustainable livelihoods.
