The Minister for Defence, Dr Edward Kofi Omane Boamah, has declared that Ghana remains safe, stable, and prepared to enter what he described as its “golden age” under the Reset Ghana agenda.
Addressing the nation during the Government Accountability Series at the Jubilee House on Monday, July 21, 2025, Dr Boamah emphasised that despite inherited challenges, the country’s security and defence architecture remains firm.
“It is with confidence and pride that I state, that to a very large extent, Ghana is safe, stable, peaceful and ready to experience her golden age under the Reset Agenda,” he said.
He acknowledged the nation’s resilience in the face of complex security threats, including the transfer of unaccounted ammunition from the Ghana Armed Forces to the National Security outfit in 2024. “We have kept our nation safe and stable notwithstanding the irregular transfer of thousands of rounds of military ammunition in 2024… which have since not been accounted for,” he added.
Dr Boamah also reaffirmed the government’s commitment to strengthening Ghana’s national security infrastructure through modernisation and reform. “Today, we gather not only to account for our stewardship so far but also to cast a shared vision for a safer, stronger, and more resilient Ghana,” he said.

He called on Ghanaians to see the nation’s defence efforts from the perspective of the men and women who serve. “I invite you today to see through the eyes of the Ghanaian soldier. To feel the heartbeat of our national security infrastructure. To walk with us on the silent paths we patrol; not for glory, but for Ghana.”
The Defence Minister assured that with renewed leadership, strategic investments, and a united national vision, Ghana is positioned for transformation. “As we stand at the threshold of a new era, the Mahama Second Coming, and resetting Ghana, let us remember that our strength lies not just in our arms, but in our unity, our resilience, and our unwavering commitment to Ghana’s progress.”
