The Managing Director of the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), Samuel Dubik Mahama has thanked President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo for entrusting him with the opportunity to serve in a critical sector of Ghana’s economy.

Recounting his two-year tenure as ECG boss, Samuel Mahama in a LinkedIn post shared five key achievements.

He listed the implementation of digital solutions to streamline cashless payment and billing processes in the power system while combating distribution losses and corruption.

Dubik Mahama touted the successful revamping of the ECG PowerApp, which resulted in a surge of active users from 500,000 to over 3.5 million.

“Elevated the company's monthly revenue from GHS 400 million to an impressive GHS 1 billion,” he wrote.

“Significantly reduced meter request backlogs through the Loss Reduction Project (LRP), achieving an injection of 275,000 meters into the system as of May 10, 2024,” Dubik Mahama added.

The ECG boss further highlighted the ongoing exercise of replacing outdated meters to comply with the power distribution company’s enhanced meter management system across operational regions.

“We are committed to transparency, and soon, we will be sharing comprehensive updates with our valued customers, detailing our efforts to enhance operational efficiency for a more reliable power supply. I extend my sincere gratitude to all staff members for their unwavering support through both challenges and triumphs,” Dubik Mahama's post concluded.

In May 2022, President Akufo-Addo appointed Samuel Dubik Masubir Mahama as the MD of ECG.

He took over from Kwame Agyeman–Budu, who reached the statutory retirement age of 60 in May 2022.
