THE Ghanaian government, yesterday, settled part of its debt to the West
African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo) and Nigeria Gas Association, NGA,
following the first round of talks with the Nigerian authorities.
The negotiations, it was learned, will continue as yesterday’s
payment of $10 million buys Ghana some time to conclude negotiations to
curtail the cut in gas supply from Nigeria. WAPCo had threatened to cut
gas supply to Ghana on Friday, over $180 million debt owed NGA, but it
suspended the decision after the deadline for payment elapsed last
night.
Harriet Wereko Brobbey, Corporate Affairs Director for the West
Africa Gas Pipeline Company, told a Ghanaian news outfit that the
company is still transporting natural gas to Ghana.
Sources in Nigeria told the news medium that Ghana has committed
first payment of close to 10 million dollars to NGA. This agreement was
reached with some conditions. The partners are expected to meet over the
weekend to structure out a payment plan which will be agreed on by
other partners.
We supply other countries with power, yet we are in darkness.
Have you ever seen a caterer starve?
Nigeria!
Change!!!
