Lieutenant Colonel Kakra Sasu-Antwi, Commander Rear of the 11 Mechanised Battalion, has inspected the ongoing accommodation project at Sherigu in the Upper East Region. The project is being constructed on a 40-acre land donated by the Paramount Chief of Sherigu Traditional Council, Naba Thomas Aluman Apasinaba II.
Expressing satisfaction with the progress of work, Lieutenant Colonel Sasu-Antwi encouraged contractors to ensure timely completion. He also visited Naba Thomas Aluman Apasinaba II to express gratitude for supporting military operations, and both parties signed a certificate of honour.
As a gesture of goodwill and appreciation, the Commander Rear presented cola nuts to the Paramount Chief, hoping to strengthen the bond between the Unit and the Sherigu community. This development comes amidst concerns about environmental degradation in Ghana, particularly with regards to illegal mining activities in forest reserves.
The accommodation project is expected to enhance the living conditions of military personnel stationed in the region, while also promoting community engagement and cooperation. The collaboration between the military and local authorities highlights the importance of partnership in promoting development and security in the region.
