On the 19th of August 2016, the official customary rites performance took place at the Ningo Traditional Council.
Students and teachers from twenty selected schools from the Great Ningo Traditional Area within the Ningo-Prampram District Directorate of the Ghana Education Service, Greater Accra Region, cheerfully celebrated the Global Wind Day 2016 on the 22 nd of June in Dawa. The students had been participating in a drawing contest sponsored by Lekela Power BV and Upwind Ayitepa Ltd. with the topic of “Wind Energy for Ghana”. From each school, the best drawings had been selected and their creators, as well as representative teachers, had been invited to the event. Thus, the prize-giving to announce the winner drawing was eagerly anticipated.
Ghanaian President His Excellency John Dramani Mahama on June 14th toured the Ningo-Prampram District in the Greater Accra Region to inspect the Saglemi Affordable Housing Project. During his visit, he commissioned a 1,500 housing unit at Ningo and stated that his government is committed to provide Ghanaians with decent homes and living.
Each year, a celebration day is dedicated to wind energy and all the benefits it brings to the people by generating clean and sustainable electricity. Through the realization of the 225 MW Wind Farm Ayitepa, Ghana is also destined to become part of the global wind energy community in the near future. Therefore, Upwind Ayitepa Ltd. has also this year decided to organize a local celebration of this festive day in Ghana.
Chiefs, Asafoatses, Stool Fathers, Elders and other representatives of the land owners were present at different occasions during the past weeks to complete the signing procedures for long-term land lease agreements regarding the construction and operation of the 225 MW wind farm project at Ayitepa in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana.
