The Chief of the Defence Staff (CDS), Vice-Admiral Seth Amoama; the Chief of the Naval Staff (CNS), Rear Admiral Issah Adam Yakubu; and the Chief of Staff (COS) at the General Headquarters, Major General Nicholas Peter Andoh, were officially inducted into office on Sunday, 9 May 2021. This follows their appointment by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
The induction ceremony, which was held at the Garrison Methodist Presbyterian Church at Burma Camp, was on the theme: “You are a chosen vessel of Christ”.
In his sermon on ‘The man or person God chooses’, the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, Ghana, Rt Rev Prof JOY Mantey, said God chooses all manner of people in diverse ways, whether through election, appointment or by nomination. He sighted Abraham in the Bible, who came from a pagan home and was chosen among his people to be the father of all nations. Rt Rev Prof Mantey, urged the three Generals to be strong and courageous, for the Lord was with them just as He was with Joshua when he took over the mantle from Moses to lead the Israelites to the promised land.
