Dr. Edward Kofi Omane Boamah, Minister-designate for Defence, has pledged to enhance Ghana’s defence systems to counter terrorism threats in West Africa.
He emphasized the importance of vigilance and advanced technologies, such as completing Ghana’s Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems (FOB), to protect the nation.
The nominee stated during his vetting on Tuesday, January 28, 2025, that he will be committed to improving the country’s security infrastructure, with a particular emphasis on completing Ghana’s Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems (FOB).
He underscored the need for vigilance as terrorism escalates in neighbouring countries and across West Africa.He posited that it would be important to deal with the emerging threats through proactive measures to protect the nation.
“The Fractional Orbital Bombardment Systems (FOB) are critical and needed in protecting Ghana. Terrorism has caught up with us and successive governments have done well by curbing it but there are reports that there are some sleepy cells and we need the FOBs to help secure our borders
“We have over 2,000 kilometres of borders and if these fighters are to attack us, we need the FOBs to protect ourselves and so you have my assurances that we will do everything to protect and safeguard our dear nation.”
