The energy is minister John Jinapor on Wednesday September 10, participated as a panellist at the ongoing Gastech 2025, contributing to a high-level discussion on “Powering Growth & Prosperity in High Potential Economies Through Widened Access to Affordable, Reliable, and Flexible Energy.”
Speaking on the sidelines of the global energy forum, the energy minister stressed the importance of framing energy policy discussions from a continental perspective, particularly in Africa, where access to affordable and reliable energy remains pivotal for growth.
John Jinapor highlighted the significance of regional collaboration, pointing to Ghana’s model of importing gas from Nigeria for power generation, and subsequently exporting electricity to neighbouring countries such as Burkina Faso, Togo, and Benin.
“Africa is the next investment destination. The earlier you invest in Africa, the better otherwise, you may be late,” he said, calling on international investors to seize opportunities in Africa’s fast-growing energy landscape.
He further underscored that investments in Africa must be structured as a win-win benefiting both African nations and investors alike.
