Kadjebi (O/R), March 31, GNA – The Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) has restored power to the Menuso Roadblock community in the Kadjebi District of the Oti Region, after three weeks of outage caused by a collapsed transformer and damaged electricity poles.
The prolonged blackout disrupted economic and social activities in the community, compelling local authorities and stakeholders to intervene.
Mr Dzapaye Isaac, the Assembly Member for the Menuso Electoral Area, facilitated the repair process by organising a boom truck to support engineers in fixing the damaged infrastructure, significantly speeding up the restoration work.
Mr Yao Gomado, the Member of Parliament for the Akan Constituency, together with the Kadjebi District Chief Executive, Dr Sam Issaka Suraj, also mounted pressure on ECG to urgently replace the faulty poles and restore electricity to the affected area.
Their coordinated efforts led to a swift response from ECG, culminating in the successful reconnection of power to the community.
Mr Dzapaye commended both the MP and the DCE for their timely intervention and dedication, which had brought relief to residents.
In an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Mr Musa Abiaduka Osumanu, ECG Jasikan Municipal Engineer, described the restoration exercise as challenging but successful.
He admitted that it was a major challenge, but by the grace of God, they had completed it and while also praising residents for their patience during the outage.
