Vice-President
\nDr. Mahamudu Bawumia has commissioned an office block at Burma Camp to be used
\nas a temporary Army Headquarters.<\/p>\n

He
\nalso cut the sod for the construction of a befitting headquarters edifice for the
\nGhana Army. When completed, the 37 offices block with three conference rooms,
\nan armoury and a kitchen\u2014named after General Odartey-Wellington\u2014will be used as an annex to the yet-to-be
\nconstructed headquarters.<\/p>\n

Vice-President
\nBawumia lauded the \u201cvery professional attitude\u201d of the Ghana Army, which has
\nseen the outfit continue to defend the nation against internal and external
\naggression.<\/p>\n

He
\npledged government\u2019s continued support to the military and the other security
\nagencies to enable them to discharge their duties more effectively.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt
\nis clear that given the needed resources, our Army is ready to give off its
\nbest, holding nothing back to make our country and themselves proud,\u201d he
\nsaid, adding \u201cI wish to assure you that the government will continue to work
\nclosely with the Military High Command to ensure that your logistics and
\noperational needs including equipment, clothing and accommodation are
\nadequately met and on time for both your internal and external operations. I
\ncan assure you the Ghana Army would receive its fair share of the support being
\nprovided by the government to the Ghana Armed Forces.\u201d <\/p>\n

He called for greater collaboration between the security agencies, pointing out that the military\u2019s support in the security sector had brought about sanity in most of the troubled spots across the country.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

\u201cI
\nwill urge you to continue to show commitment and dedication to ensure that all
\ntrouble spots across the country are brought under
\ncontrol. I urge you to continue to work closely with your civilian counterparts
\nas well as your sister security agencies\/institutions for the safety and
\nsecurity of the citizenry in the country,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n

The
\nChief of Army Staff (COAS) Major General William Azuri Ayamdo said the Army Headquarters
\nComplex was envisaged by Major General Richard Opoku Adusei, who, while serving
\nas Chief of Army Staff, saw the need to create an additional space to relocate
\ncertain offices of the Army Headquarters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe
\narchitectural designing was initiated in 2014 and initially drawn by 48
\nEngineer Regiment to meet the COAS vision and purpose for the structure,\u201d he
\nsaid.<\/p>\n

He
\nrevealed that the first floor of the structure would be occupied by the
\nadministration wing of the headquarters while the second and third floors would
\nhouse the training and logistics wings of the Ghana Army.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe actual construction commended in 2015 and was solely supported by Mr. Godfred Andoh, a civilian and friend to the Ghana Army,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
