Govt explores cheaper power option for VALCO - Lands Minister

The government is exploring a cost-effective power option for the Volta Aluminium Company (VALCO). This will help maximize benefits from Ghana's bauxite resources. The Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, shared this information.

He stated that the goal is to fulfill Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's vision. Nkrumah was Ghana’s first President and aimed for a fully integrated industry.

Mr. Buah made these comments during a visit to the Ghana Integrated Aluminum Development Corporation (GIADEC) in Accra yesterday.

He was joined by his Deputy, Mr. Yusif Sulemana, and senior ministry officials.
