Ghana's Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Mr John Abdulai Jinapor, has issued a one-month ultimatum to individuals and businesses operating under power transmission pylons to vacate the areas or face forced eviction and the confiscation of their belongings. The directive was issued after a damaged transmission tower at Ashaiman-Middle East, following an explosion involving a tanker, caused concerns about structural integrity and potential collapse of adjoining towers.
The Ghana Grid Company Limited (GRIDCo) reported that the damaged tower, which supplies power to critical areas in Accra, required immediate replacement. Mr Jinapor emphasized that the government would work with law enforcement agencies to enforce the evacuation, and warned that after the deadline, occupants would be forcibly removed and items left behind would be auctioned.
