The Electricity Company of Ghana Limited (ECG) Training Centre, Tema, was awarded the ‘Outstanding Training and Capacity Building Excellence’ at the just-ended Governance and Business Leadership Awards 2024.
The event, held in Accra, on Saturday, July 27, 2024 was on the theme: ‘The promise of leadership, transformation, impact, growth and prosperity for all’.
The ECG Training Center stands outbased on its “remarkable strides and noteworthy success as a corporate governance and business leadership centre”, as well as its “tremendous contribution in strategic leadership and vision to achieve business success, stakeholder profitability, community impact and contribution to national development,” as shared by the organisers of the Awards programme.
On the same platform, the Head of the ECG Training Center, Ing Godfred Mensah, was acknowledged for being an Outstanding Business Leader of the Year in the area of training and development.
The Public Relations Officer of the Company, Sakyiwaa Mensah, told The Chronicle on the telephone that the ECG Training Centre is poised to provide technical training with a particular focus on electrical engineering and the energy sector as a whole.
Thanking the organisers for the awards, Miss Sakyiwaa said the centre would continue to provide capacity building for eligible persons within the country, as well as those from countries within the ECOWAS region.
Meanwhile, the South Tema District of the Tema Region of ECG held a stakeholders meeting with a cross-section of residents of Tema New Town to, among other things, discuss issues of mutual benefit to the company and the residents who are direct and indirect customers of the power distributor.
The ECG South Tema District Manager, Ing Horace Nkansah, who chaired the meeting, thanked the participants for their continued support in helping the district to serve them by relaying valuable information to the District’s Faults Team.
The District’s Commercial Officer, Madam Victoria Ahiati, led the education on the acquisition of separate meters, sanctions for illegal connections, causes of low current and energy conservation.
There was a discourse on the ECG cashless system and how customers can go about it, the use of the power app for bill payments and associated services, as well as safety during rainstorms.
The engaging and educative forum enabled the stakeholders to openly share their issues and make suggestions, while the representatives of the power distributor also gave answers appropriately.
Mary Sakyiwaa, the PRO for the power distributor in the Tema Region, told The Chronicle that ECG organises such engagements to reach out to stakeholders and the general public to educate them on ECG operations and to call on them to help the company protect its equipment such as transformers and overhead cables to reduce incidents of theft and vandalism.
“The ECG constantly calls on the public to also report problems with outages and faults to the company and to desist from unauthorised interference with their distribution networks,” she ended.
