WAPCo dimisses $30m payment to N-Gas
The West African Gas Pipeline Company (WAPCo) has
rejected claims that the government has paid some
30 million dollars as part payment of the over 100
million dollars debts owed the company.

This is according to the Corporate Affairs
Director for WAPCo, Harriet Wereko-Brobbey.
Harriet Wereko-Brobbey who spoke to Citi Business
News on Tuesday explained that her outfit is yet
to receive information from N-Gas, the government
of Ghana’s suppliers of gas, regarding payment.

“On the issue of payments, WAPCo has not
received any payment but then I don’t know if
the Petroleum Minister is referring to payments
made to the supplier that is N-Gas.

We are transporters and we get paid by the
supplier whose gas we transport. So it may be that
payment has been made to the supplier and we are
yet to receive payment for the transportation but
we haven’t heard anything from even N-Gas on any
payment,” she explained.

The Minister of Petroleum, Emmanuel Armah Kofi
Buah in an interview with Citi Business News on
Monday announced that Ghana had paid some 30
million dollars out of the reported 140 million
dollars it owes the WAPCo.

Mr. Buah intimated that the payment formed part
of a payment scheme government agreed on with
N-Gas. WAPCo, in June, suspended gas flow to Ghana
over unpaid bills by the government. Citi Business
News understands the Volta River Authority (VRA)
owes Nigeria’s N -Gas around 180 million
dollars, while N- Gas in turn owes WAPCo 104
million dollars.

Harriet Wereko-Brobbey however indicated that
WAPCo is engaging N-Gas to facilitate the
resumption of the transportation of Gas to Ghana.
“The issue is that we are in a difficult
situation and so we have suspended our
transportation services to the supplier that is
N-Gas.

So we indicated to N – Gas that they should
kindly pay us money so we can transport because we
have been transporting on their behalf and there
have not been any payment.

So for us we expect payment so we resume
transportation.” Meanwhile the company has also
denied any damaged to it pipelines due to
activates of resurgence of militancy in Nigeria
insisting that the cut in supply is due to the
unpaid bill.

“On the issue of pipelines, I think we all hear
about pipeline sabotage and so on but the point I
am making is that WAPCo’s issue is on gas
transportation on the WAP-P. The WAP-P is in good
condition. We are in the position to transport and
we have suspended transportation because of
payment,” Harriet Wereko Brobbey stressed.
