Under his leadership, the department achieved several milestones in strategic communication and public engagement.
In his parting remarks, the outgoing Director-General expressed heartfelt gratitude to the DPR team for their unwavering commitment, professionalism, and discipline.

The ceremony also recognised the long and distinguished service of two retiring officers: Ex-SWOII Acquaye Eric Joseph, the first Senior Warrant Officer of the department, and WOI Akpabi Kwesi Brown, the department’s senior-most military reporter.
Both are proceeding on retirement after an exemplary 30 years of service with the colours.
The occasion concluded with commendations for the outgoing leadership and well-wishes for the new command as the department charts a fresh course forward.
