The West African Gas Pipeline Company Limited (WAPCo) has reported a drop in gas volumes available for transportation, attributing this to ongoing maintenance by one of its gas producers in Nigeria.
In a press release dated June 12, Isaac Adjei Doku, WAPCo’s Director of Corporate Affairs, explained the situation: “One of the producers of the natural gas WAPCo transports from Nigeria has shut down its facility for a three-week maintenance, resulting in a decrease of gas available for WAPCo to transport to customers in Togo, Benin, and Ghana.”
He emphasized that the situation is beyond WAPCo’s control and reassured that the company continues to transport gas from the Western Region of Ghana to Tema.
“We expect normalcy to return after the maintenance activities,” the statement added.
