However, the decision has been met with stiff opposition from workers of ECG who have claimed that the concession will lead to the loss of jobs and high electricity tariffs. Rather, the concessionaire will take the time to gain proceeds.”“In our field of conducting high quality, independent research, we realised that in the ECG concession, ownership remains with Government of Ghana. A major review will not be excluded in year 15 of the concession. It is for this and a plethora of other reasons we see the concession of ECG as timely, masterly, and a brilliant feat.
