The establishment of Ghana’s first Cyber and Electronic Warfare Centre at the Tamale Air Force Base has been announced by President John Dramani Mahama.
He revealed this at the 2025 West African Soldiers Social Activity (WASSA) of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF), where he authorised the building of the first phase of a fleet of vehicles and 2000 military barracks.
The President claims that in order to improve security at border crossings and throughout the nation, armoured vehicles, drones, and other equipment will be purchased.
“Plans are also well advanced to procure armored personnel carriers, strategic drones, and advanced communication systems to establish Ghana’s first state-of-the art Cyber and Electronic Warfare Centre in the northern sector.
“We are going to set up an Electronic Warfare Centre at the Tamale Air Force Base. This centre will be responsible for maintaining surveillance of our borders and will have an assault capacity in the event that our country comes under any attack,” he stated.
