Contribute to govt’s digitalisation strategies – Bawumia to GAF

Mahamudu Bawumia has called on the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) and the Ghana Armed Forces Staff College to contribute meaningfully to the Government’s digitisation strategies to enhance the nation’s digital advancement.

Speaking at the Ninth Graduation of the Ghana Armed Forces Command and Staff College (GAFCSC) in Accra, Dr Bawumia acknowledged the historic contributions of the Armed Forces to the advancement of technology and urged the Military to come on board in the digitalisation drive.

“Therefore, I look forward to the Ghana Armed Forces, particularly GAFCSC, to help with strategies that will contribute to government’s digitalisation agenda,” the Vice President added.

“I have repeatedly referred to GAFCSC, as a prime national asset with a place of pride in Ghana and the entire continent as it continues to serve as a citadel of knowledge for our military, and that of allied countries,” he said.

“Over time, GAFCSC has convincingly carved a niche for itself as the destination of choice for Allied officers and countries who have a desire to achieve professional excellence in their respective Armed Forces.”

Bawumia further urged the Staff College Control Board and the Military High Command to leverage its enhanced status and prominence, to work towards sustaining the gains already achieved and venture into other unexplored areas necessary for national development.

“With the status of the College as a tertiary institution and her flagship Integrated programme, namely the Passed Staff College (psc) and the Master of Science in Defense and International Politics, GAFCSC has assumed an even greater role in shaping the leadership and managerial skills of many professionals from Ghana and other sister African countries.”
