President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has said that his government has positioned the Ghana Armed Forces to be able to meet both present and future challenges.
From the establishment of the Navy Training Command to the creation of the Riverine Command, he said the Armed Forces have been equipped to meet both present and future challenges. "I am incredibly proud of the men and women of the Ghana Navy, whose courage, dedication and sacrifice continue to safeguard our nation's sovereignty and peace," he said on Monday, 23rd December 2024, after commissioning the Forward Operating Base (FOB) at Ezinlibo in the Western Region, a critical step in our efforts to protect Ghana's territorial and maritime integrity.
This strategically located base will enhance the Navy's capacity to combat piracy, illegal fishing, and other security threats in the Gulf of Guinea.
Ezinlibo joins a network of Forward Operating Bases across the country, including those at Tilli, Bui, Sankore and Kenyase, with new ones planned for Keta, Ada, Winneba and Elmina.
