Ghana Faces Looming Power Crisis Amid Fuel Shortages Ghana is facing a potential power crisis due to fuel shortages, according to a recent warning from the Energy Minister. The situation is further analyzed by energy expert Kwadwo Poku in a JoyNews AM Show interview.

"The issues we are discussing are the same problems that have plagued the sector for the last year," Poku stated, emphasizing the ongoing challenges. He questioned the lack of progress in addressing these known issues, particularly in light of the Minister's warning.
