Chief of Naval Staff, Rear Admiral Arthur Riby Nuno, says the
challenges that militates against the achievement of safety and
security in the country’s maritime domain, have been trans-national
threats which have been on the ascendancy. Addressing the first Senior
Naval Officers concention in Takoradi, he said a typical example of
this is the report of drug trafficking in Ghana’s Maritime Domain for
Socio-Economic Development.
Rear Admiral Arthur Riby Nuno said, the navy remains the major
government agency which enforces the laws of Ghana at sea. He said the
navy can only carry out this role effectively with the help of
platforms that enable the service to patrol the vital sea area and
ensure that the laws and regulations are complied with.
The Deputy Minister of Defence, William Ofori-Boafor said his Ministry
and the high command of the Ghana Armed Forces are studying these
challenges and will address them in due course.
