Ghana’s Ambassador to Russia Koma Steem Jehu-Appiah told Sputnik in a separate interview that Ghana is interested in purchasing a Russian-built floating nuclear power plant. “I know that our minister of energy was here last year and signed a corresponding agreement. I think this is innovative, and in a conversation with the minister of energy, he said that the country is interested. So, Ghana could purchase such a nuclear power plant,” the Ambassador said.
