John Jinapor, is the Minister of Energy and Green Transition
The Member of Parliament for Wa West Constituency, Peter Laanchene Toobu, has praised the Minister of Energy and Green Transition, Dr John Abdulai Jinapor, for what he describes as steady leadership and improved stability in Ghana’s power sector since assuming office.
In a public message, Toobu called on Ghanaians to join him in celebrating the Yapei-Kusawgu MP, noting that the Minister has managed to “keep the lights on” despite what he termed as significant challenges inherited upon taking office.
Sharing a personal experience to underscore his point, the Wa West MP recounted that at about 2:00 a.m. on December 21, 2025, a brief power outage disrupted his sleep.
According to him, streetlights in the area remained on, and after receiving a low-credit alert from his prepaid meter, he used the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) mobile application to top up within two minutes, after which power was promptly restored.
Toobu described the incident as a reflection of improvements in service delivery and system responsiveness within the power distribution network.
“I want to salute the Honourable Minister and his entire team for the great efforts being displayed in the energy sector,” he said.
He extended commendation to the Deputy Minister, the Chief Director, the Director of Power at the Ministry of Energy and Green Transition, as well as staff of the Volta River Authority (VRA), Northern Electricity Distribution Company (NEDCo), Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCo), and the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG)
Toobu concluded by wishing the energy minister and Ghanaians a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year, expressing optimism about continued improvements in the sector.
