Residents of some parts of Accra and other regions were plunged into darkness just hours after the President declared Dumsor a thing of the past.
Speaking at his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA 2020), President Akufo Addo said:
“Mr Speaker, all our best laid plans for industrialisation would come to naught unless we have a reliable and reasonably priced energy sector. It gives me great pleasure to be able to say that we have overcome the DUMSOR menace,” the President told MPs in his State of the Nation Address to the House on Thursday, February 20, 2020.
He added: “But, unfortunately, I cannot say that we have resolved all our energy problems. It is still work in progress.”
However, many residents of Accra were forced to sleep in darkness, with no word or explanation of any kind from the Ghana Grid Company (GRIDCO) or the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
