The Ghana Armed Forces have appointed Brigadier General Forster Okae-Yeboah to lead a major new operation aimed at tackling the country’s worsening flood crisis.
Brigadier General Okae-Yeboah, who serves as the Director General of Joint Operations, will spearhead what officials describe as an uncompromising and robust flood mitigation exercise.
The high-profile deployment signals a heightened military involvement in managing national disaster risks as seasonal rains continue to impact communities.
The newly appointed commander is expected to outline the military’s strategic plan and immediate intervention measures in a public address tomorrow morning at 11:00 GMT.
In a statement shared on social media, the Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, confirmed the appointment and indicated that the operation would focus on decisive actions to protect citizens from further environmental displacement and infrastructure damage.
Tomorrow’s briefing will provide the first detailed breakdown of the joint operations timeline, resource deployment, and specific high-risk zones targeted by the military task force.
