Tamale, Dec. 5, - Mr Dominic
Nitiwul, the Minister of Defence, has reiterated government’s commitment to
retool the Ghana Armed Forces with available logistics and facilities to
enhance its work.
This, he said, would help to
address challenges of inadequate logistics and facilities at the various
military camps to be effective and efficient in the performance of their
duties.
Mr Nitiwul said this when he
visited personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces at the Barracks in Tamale as part
of a two-day tour of the Northern Region to familiarise himself with challenges
and security standpoints.
He said the Military remained the
peace wing of the country and should act with professionalism to maintain law
and order to derive the maximum benefits from investors to improve the economy.
He urged the public and other law
enforcement agencies to cooperate with the Military to maintain law and order
to promote peace in the country, especially in the Region to bring development.
Mr Nitiwul emphasised that
government intended to make Ghana a beacon of peace within the West African
Sub-region to drive investors.
He also inspected ongoing
construction works of the new Northern Regional Command Headquarters in Tamale
to ascertain the level of work done and to interact with workers on site.
Earlier, the Minister and his
entourage paid a courtesy call on Alhaji Al-hassan Abdulai, the Gukpe-Naa,
Paramount Chief of Tamale, where he extended his profound gratitude to the chiefs
for their complementing efforts in helping seek lasting peace in the Region.
Meanwhile, the Minister would
also visit the new Tamale Military Hospital site to inspect works and a
training camp at Daboya in the North Gonja District on Tuesday to mark the end
of his two-day visit to the Sixth Garrison.
