President John Dramani Mahama has announced plans to upgrade the Asutsuare Training Camp into a top-tier military training facility to strengthen Ghana’s security readiness.

At a brief ceremony on Friday, March 28, 2025, where the newly appointed Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Major General William Agyapong, and other security chiefs paid him a courtesy visit, President Mahama reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to improving the country’s military infrastructure.

He assured the security chiefs that budgetary allocations for the military would be increased to facilitate the procurement of advanced platforms and assets to enhance operational efficiency.

He also encouraged them to explore innovative financing strategies to improve infrastructure, particularly focusing on troop accommodation.

“Your budgetary allocation will increase to enable you to secure new and additional platforms and assets to enhance your operations. I also ask you to explore innovative financing means to improve infrastructure and training, especially with respect to accommodation for your troops.

“I will be by your side every step of the way. Already, we are planning to upgrade the Asutsuare Training Camp into a first-class training facility,” President Mahama stated.
