In a statement issued on January 1, 2026, the General Secretary of the union, Morgan Ayawine indicated that ECG remains a critical national asset whose operations directly affect households, businesses and industrial growth across the country.

He noted that while productivity and efficiency are essential for economic recovery, reforms within ECG must be handled carefully, given its strategic role in national development.

“Of particular concern is the issue of private sector participation in the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG). As an essential public entity serving a wide spectrum of the Ghanaian populace, Government must exercise caution and avoid outright sale of ECG, while maintaining it as one of the nation’s most vital and indispensable assets.”

Meanwhile, ICU Ghana has also acknowledged ongoing efforts by government to stabilise the economy and create a positive recovery atmosphere but insisted that such gains must be supported by sound and practical socio-economic policies.

It further called on government to prioritise workable economic interventions that promote industrial expansion, warning that rising unemployment could undermine national progress if left unchecked.

“The positive atmosphere Government has created through its economic recovery efforts under the reset agenda must be sustained through the practical demonstration and application of sound socio-economic policies that will lead to an improved standard of living for the generality of Ghanaians.”

The union also urged employers to foster employee-friendly working environments that promote industrial peace and harmony.
