Accra, March 18, – President John Dramani Mahama has received 54 personnel from the 48 Engineers Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces, who were deployed to Jamaica to assist in recovery efforts after Hurricane Melissa in October 2025.
Speaking at a ceremony at Teshie Camp, President Mahama praised the troops for their successful humanitarian mission, which involved rebuilding homes and public facilities, particularly roofing projects in St. Elizabeth Parish, including Middle Quarters and Black River.
He described the deployment as a non-combat mission rooted in Afro-Caribbean solidarity and Pan-African cooperation, highlighting Ghana’s support in regional humanitarian efforts.
The 54-member team, drawn mainly from the 14 Engineer Regiment with support from the 48th, 49th, and 50th regiments, worked alongside the Jamaica Defence Force and the US. Their mission followed a formal request from Jamaica’s Prime Minister, Andrew Holness.
