President John Dramani Mahama has officially sworn in the newly appointed service commanders of the Ghana Armed Forces as members of the Armed Forces Council.
The ceremony, held earlier today at the Ministry of Defense, came ahead of a scheduled Council meeting to deliberate on key matters, including promotions and ongoing efforts to retool the military.
The newly inducted commanders are:
- Major General William Agyapong, Chief of Defense Staff
- Major General Lawrence Kwaku Gbetanu, Chief of Army Staff
- Rear Admiral Godwin Livinus Bessing, Chief of Naval Staff
