Residents of Accra and concerned citizens are gearing up for a significant event aimed at addressing the ongoing power crisis, commonly known as “Dumsor.” On June 8th, 2024, from 2 PM to 10 PM, a vigil will be held in front of the University of Ghana to demand a sustainable solution to the erratic power supply that has plagued the country for years.

This gathering is not just a protest but a solemn appeal to the government and relevant authorities to find and implement long-term solutions to the power crisis.
