Teshie-Nungua telephone lines down

Residents of Teshie-Nungua were without telephone communications throughout the weekend since the stand-by generator of the Ghana Telecom Exchange has broken down and there was also power outage in the area.

Several people were disappointed as they moved from one telephone booth to another, only to be greeted with the expression, "technical fault, replace handset". They were even more disappointed when they turned to communication centres. Many of the centres were closed, and those that were opened were also having the same technical problem.

The GNA reports a source close to the Teshie-Nungua Exchange as attributing the problem to a breakdown of a stand-by generator that supplied electricity to the exchange when power from the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) was disrupted.
