Despite several projections by industry experts that the energy crisis will only worsen, President John Dramani Mahama has promised to end the problem within the course of the year.
He made these remarks at yesterday’s 31st December watch night service at the Perez Chapel.
“Now this is the interesting part; it [2015] will be one in which we will banish darkness from our land and put an end to dumsor forever,” he said.
The country’s energy crisis has worsened over the last few years, prompting the government to put structures in place to address the challenges.
The new Power Minister has also vowed to end the crisis within the first half of this year.
Addressing the congregation, the President said: “The year 2015 will be one filled with fruitfulness, joy, peace, good health and development.”
He pledged to commit the leadership of the nation to God and promised to work “hard for my nation and I ask for a similar commitment from you.”
According to him, if every Ghanaian works hard with “integrity and excellence,” the nation will experience significant development.
“Let us all commit to be each other’s keeper and to know that through the hand we offer our neighbours, we are indirectly uplifting our dear country to greater heights,” he advised.
