President John Dramani Mahama has pledged to provide consistent electricity to the Bright Industrial Zone within the next three weeks, as part of the government's drive to stimulate industrial output, generate employment, and bolster Ghana's 24-hour economy. The Minister of Energy and GRIDCo have assured the President that the power substation, which is currently strained, will be upgraded by replacing its transformer to ensure uninterrupted operations and continuous production.
During a visit to the industrial complex, Mahama observed a surge in the number of manufacturing facilities since his last visit. These include textile, battery, truck assembly, and steel fabrication factories. He expressed satisfaction with the expansion, stating that it is already generating job opportunities for young people. Many of these workers operate in shifts to maintain production levels throughout the day and night.
