Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Samuel Dubik Mahama, has hinted that the Director-General of the Ghana Education has scheduled a meeting with him for a way forward to be agreed in respect of debt owed by senior high schools across the country.<\/b><\/p>\n

He said the senior high schools owe ECG close to GHC45M.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, the schools\u2019 bill is almost GHC45m in arrears,\u201d Mr Mahama lamented.<\/p>\n

He explained that the disconnection of Accra Academy and others from the national electricity grid was thus part of a nationwide effort to recover debt owed it.<\/p>\n

\u201cAcross the nation, there is a GHC2.5b debt based on debt stock I am seeing,\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n

Mr Mahama was hopeful that his meeting with the Director- General of the GES, Dr Eric Nkansah, will result in an amicable resolution of the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI had a conversation with the Director General of the Ghana Education Service, and he has promised to have a meeting with me before the end of this week, so we can find a long-lasting solution to these issues and how we can handle them going forward,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

Senior High Schools across the country are said to owe the ECG an estimated GHC45m. Accra Academy\u2019s share of this amount is reported to be over GHC400,000.00.<\/p>\n

GES Director General resolves Accra Academy power issue, assures it won\u2019t reoccur<\/p>\n

ECG on Monday, February 19, disconnected the school from the national grid due to an unpaid debt of over GH\u00a2400,000. This resulted in a total blackout on the entire campus.<\/p>\n

Paul Agraga, the head of prosecution at ECG, explained in an interview on Citi FM that \u201cthe disconnection is part of an ongoing initiative to recover outstanding payments owed to the company.\u201d<\/p>\n

Academic activities resume as ECG restores power supply to Accra Academy<\/p>\n

\u201cNormally, we have a team that goes around once a while to inform our customers of their debts, so they do not accumulate and so if you take Accra Academy for example, they owe in excess of GH\u00a2400,000 to the ECG.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mr Agraga emphasised the importance of ECG recovering the monies owed to pay off the power producers.<\/p>\n

He dismissed the assertion that the company is targeting some selected senior schools.<\/p>\n
