We're planning to upgrade Asutuare Training Camp into first-class training facility

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

Speaking on Friday, March 28, 2025, during a courtesy visit by newly appointed Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) Major General William Agyapong and other security chiefs, President Mahama reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to enhancing military infrastructure.

He assured the security leadership that budgetary allocations for the military would be increased to support the acquisition of advanced equipment and resources to improve operational effectiveness.

Additionally, the president encouraged military leaders to explore alternative financing models to improve infrastructure, particularly in addressing accommodation challenges for troops.

“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 Asutuare Training Camp into a first-class training facility,” he emphasised.
