The government has announced plans to upgrade the Asutsuare Training Camp into a state-of-the-art military training facility to enhance the country’s security preparedness.

President John Dramani Mahama made this known during a meeting with newly appointed Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), Major General William Agyapong, and other top security officials on Friday, March 28, 2025.

Addressing the security chiefs, President Mahama reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to strengthening Ghana’s military infrastructure. He assured them that budgetary allocations for the armed forces would be increased to support the acquisition of modern equipment and facilities.

“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," he stated.

The President further assured the security leadership of his continued support in enhancing the military’s capabilities.

“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,” he added.

The move aligns with the government’s broader efforts to modernize Ghana’s military and equip personnel with the necessary resources for effective operations.
