Ghana has secured a grant of 1.92 billion Japanese Yen (approximately $13 million) from Japan to support efforts to stabilize electricity supply in Tamale.
The Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, announced the development in a post on X, stating that he signed an Exchange of Notes with Japan’s Ambassador to Ghana, Yoshimoto Hiroshi, to formalize the agreement.
“This project and many others under discussion highlight the outstanding bond of friendship between Ghana and Japan,” Mr. Ablakwa wrote.
The grant is expected to enhance power supply reliability in Tamale, a key commercial hub in northern Ghana.
