In a move to strengthen national security and promote citizen engagement, Brigadier General Tim Ba-Taa-Banah led a team from the National Counter-terrorism Fusion Centre to meet with the Chairperson of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Ms. Kathleen Addy. The meeting, held at the NCCE’s Head Office in Accra, aimed to explore new areas of collaboration and deepen existing ones.
The partnership between the NCCE and the National Counter-terrorism Fusion Centre is crucial in promoting national cohesion and equipping citizens with the knowledge to contribute to national security efforts. As noted by Col. Tim Ba-Taa-Banah, Director of the National Counter Terrorism and Fusion Centre, public education is key in the fight against terrorism. The “see something, say something” campaign, for instance, relies on citizens sharing relevant information with security agencies.
The meeting between the NCCE and the National Counter-terrorism Fusion Centre marks a significant step towards fostering a collaborative approach to national security. By working together, these institutions can promote citizen engagement, enhance public awareness, and ultimately contribute to a safer and more secure Ghana.
