President John Dramani Mahama convened a crucial meeting with Ghana’s top security chiefs in the early hours of Tuesday, January 14, at Jubilee House. Present at the meeting were representatives from the Ghana Armed Forces, Ghana Police Service, and the National Security Council. The session was part of preparations for his peace-building visit to Bawku and Nalerigu, aimed at addressing ongoing conflicts in these regions.
The high-level discussions focused on security concerns and strategies to ensure stability during and after the President’s visit. Such collaborative efforts between security agencies underscore the importance of maintaining a united front in tackling regional conflicts, as seen in similar meetings like the National Election Security Task Force gatherings.
President Mahama’s visit to Bawku and Nalerigu today is a key step in his administration’s commitment to fostering dialogue and finding lasting solutions to conflicts in these areas. He is expected to meet with local leaders, including the Bawku Naba, to discuss actionable measures for restoring peace and stability.
In addition to engaging with traditional authorities, the President will hold discussions with various factions involved in the conflict and other key stakeholders. By addressing underlying issues and fostering dialogue, President Mahama aims to create an environment conducive to development and progress, reinforcing his earlier promise to prioritize peace and improve infrastructure, including the construction of a modern hospital.
