The retired Chief of Defence Staff (CDS) of Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), Vice Admiral Seth Amoama has called for a continuous collaboration between the Forces and other sister security services.
He said this during a farewell parade, pull-out and transfer ceremony held in his honour at the Burma Camp in Accra yesterday.
Vice Admiral (rtd) Amoama was touched by the grand support he has received from the other security services’ heads.
He, therefore, called on Major General Thomas Oppong Peprah, who has taken over the baton to continue with this relationship.
The former CDS also urged staff and personnel of GAF to continue to work hard and be professional in all their endeavours, saying “professionalism requires that we continue to work hard and train all year round.”
He also charged the officers of the Army to show leadership and be committed to leadership while the junior ranks, soldiers, air staff and sailors put themselves out to learning, working and training hard.
“Leadership isn’t about the rank you hold; it’s about the lives you touch and the legacy you leave. In service, we find purpose; in leadership we inspire greatness.
“As I retire, I’m humbled by the privilege to serve alongside extraordinary men and women,” he stressed.
Vice Admiral Amoama (rtd) urged personnel and staff to endeavour to show same loyalty to his successor. He thanked his immediate and extended families, President Akufo-Addo, officers, staff and personnel of the forces for their support. Vice Admiral Amoama (rtd) was presented with pictures and gifts from the various units of GAF and sister Security services.
