Ekpo also assured them of his commitment to upholding the treaty’s essence that established the group.

After his election and while still in Ghana, Ekpo paid a courtesy visit to the President of the Republic of Ghana, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama.

During the engagement, Ekpo reaffirmed Nigeria’s commitment to sustaining continued collaboration with the Government of Ghana in the gas sector. He further assured the Ghanaian leader of Nigeria’s readiness to address and resolve outstanding issues related to gas supply to Ghana under the WAGP framework.

He  also called on the Ghanaian leader to ensure that relevant agencies are prompt in their financial obligations for gas supplied.

He appealed to President Mahama to direct the relevant Ghanaian authorities to take expedited action on the proposed fiscal amendments to the WAGP Act, to align with evolving operational realities and maintain regional harmony as enshrined in the Treaty.

The Nigerian Gas Minister solicited Ghana’s continued support for the African Atlantic Gas Pipeline Project, a strategic initiative aimed at deepening regional energy security and economic cooperation.

In his response, President Mahama thanked Ekpo for his visit and assured that Ghana would always fulfill its financial obligations to the West African Gas Pipeline project. Mahama promised his country’s support to maintain regional harmony enshrined in the proposed fiscal amendments to the WAGP Act.
