President John Dramani Mahama has appointed new acting service chiefs for the Ghana Armed Forces, marking a significant shift in military leadership. The appointments include Major General Thomas Oppong-Peprah as Chief of Defence Staff, Brigadier General Abraham Yevu as Chief of Army Staff, and Commodore Moses Beick-Baffour as Chief of Naval Staff. These changes come amid rising concerns over national security and the need for enhanced military readiness.

Mahama’s decision reflects a strategic move to bolster the armed forces' capabilities in addressing contemporary security challenges facing Ghana. The newly appointed chiefs bring extensive experience and a commitment to strengthening the military's operational efficiency.

The reshuffle is seen as essential not only for improving defense strategies but also for fostering collaboration among different branches of the armed services. As Ghana navigates complex security dynamics within its borders, these appointments may play a crucial role in ensuring stability and peace throughout the nation. Observers are keenly watching how this leadership transition will impact the armed forces’ effectiveness in safeguarding Ghana’s sovereignty.
