Government committed to retooling Ghana Armed Forces – Defence minister

The Minister of Defence, Dr Edward Omane Boamah, has disclosed that the government is undertaking significant measures to retool the Ghana Armed Forces to strengthen internal peace, improve national security, and protect Ghana’s territorial integrity.

According to him, this initiative forms a key part of the ‘Reset Ghana Agenda’ being spearheaded by the Mahama administration.

In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Tuesday, July 29, Dr Omane Boamah stated, “We’re taking additional significant steps to re-tool the Ghana Armed Forces, ensuring internal peace and security everywhere and safeguarding our territories. The Mahama Government is committed to #ResetGhana, and we’re working tirelessly to make it happen.”

He emphasised that the goal is to build a modern, well-equipped, and professional military capable of responding effectively to both internal and external threats.

The minister assured Ghanaians that the government is focused on delivering peace, particularly in conflict-prone areas such as Bawku, where long-standing tensions have disrupted normal life.

“Lasting peace shall surely return to Bawku and all affected areas,” he stated.

Dr Omane Boamah also called for national unity in supporting efforts to build a more secure and resilient country.

“Let’s collaborate and build a safer, stronger Ghana together,” he added.

The retooling of the armed forces is expected to include improved logistics, advanced equipment, and enhanced welfare for security personnel across the country.
