  "summary": "Ghana's government has affirmed the country's readiness to adopt nuclear power as part of its efforts to diversify the energy mix and secure reliable, affordable electricity for industrialization. The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources and Acting Minister for Environment, Science and Technology, Mr Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, stated that Ghana is in Phase Two of the International Atomic Energy Agency's milestone approach for developing nuclear power infrastructure, indicating that several stages such as site studies, institutional strengthening, and stakeholder engagement are already advanced. However, the Minister emphasized that the country's nuclear ambition must extend beyond building reactors to developing the necessary human capacity to operate and sustain the programme.",
