President Mahama Commissions Sahara LPG Vessel in South Korea
President John Dramani Mahama has commissioned the Sahara LPG Vessel, marking a major step in strengthening Ghana’s energy infrastructure and supporting the transition to cleaner energy sources.
Describing the occasion as more than a ceremonial event, the President said the commissioning represents “a significant milestone in strengthening the infrastructure that underpins the global liquefied petroleum gas supply chain.”
He noted that energy access and the shift toward cleaner energy remain defining challenges of the era, emphasizing that LPG continues to play a critical role in the transition.
President Mahama further highlighted the importance of collaboration, stating that the project reflects the power of strategic partnerships and forward-looking investments aimed at improving energy security for Ghana, West Africa, and the African continent.
He added that Ghana, like many of its neighbours, recognizes the transformative potential of LPG in driving socio-economic development and expanding access to cleaner energy solutions.
President John Dramani Mahama has arrived in Libreville, Gabon, to participate in the inaugural Libreville International Forum for Innovation and Development, a high-level event that brings together Heads of State, government officials, global investors, and technology experts.
The forum, being held under the patronage of Mr Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema, President of the Republic of Gabon, is on the theme “Political Stability, Business Climate, and Artificial Intelligence: Catalysts for Growth.”
The forum seeks to position Gabon as a regional innovation hub and key destination for international investment.
Organisers are holding the Forum to inaugurate the newly constructed Omar Bongo Ondimba Congress Centre, which also serves as the venue for the Forum and as a future centre for international dialogue.
The forum will culminate in the “Libreville Declaration,” which will showcase the strategic political leaders’ commitments to enhancing governance, transparency, and digital integration across the continent.
President Mahama remains a strong advocate for fostering partnerships that bridge the gap between government policy and private-sector growth to ensure inclusive development.
