CDS pays courtesy call on Akwamu Adumasa chief over military housing support fund
William Agyapong, Chief of Defence Staff (CDS), paid a courtesy call on Nana Ansah Kwao IV, Chief of Akwamu Adumasa, as part of efforts to strengthen support for a military accommodation initiative. Nana Ansah Kwao IV said that the CDS identified the poor state of military housing as a major concern dating back to the colonial era.
The visit follows the launch of a trust fund aimed at addressing accommodation challenges facing personnel of the Ghana Armed Forces. Lieutenant General Agyapong acknowledged that government alone could not shoulder the financial burden of resolving the accommodation deficit and therefore engaged Corporate Ghana for support. At an event held on April 25, Corporate Ghana responded positively to the appeal, leading to the establishment of a trust fund to mobilise resources for the construction of accommodation for soldiers.
Nana Ansah Kwao IV disclosed that he was honoured to be nominated as a member of the board of trustees for the fund. He said, "The CDS and his team came to show appreciation today. Myself, my chiefs and elders welcomed him wholeheartedly and pledged our support in any way we can." The chief further appealed to Corporate Ghana to continue supporting the initiative to improve the welfare and living conditions of military personnel across the country.
