COMPLETING THE CIRCLE – STRATEGIC CAPACITY BUILDING: UNITING EDUCATION AND DEFENCE

In an exciting step towards educational excellence and industry collaboration, Marshalls University College recently made a significant visit to the Eastern Naval Command in Tema, Ghana. This strategic alliance aims to connect academia and defence while exploring innovative pathways for national development.

Building on previous engagements with the Western Naval Command in Sekondi-Takoradi on 9th June 2023, the Ghana Navy Headquarters at Burma Camp, Accra on 4th September 2024, and the most recent at the Eastern Naval Command in Tema on 2nd October 2024, this partnership has deepened the bond between Marshalls University College and the Ghana Navy. Together, they seek to integrate education with military readiness, contributing to national security and development.

LEADING THE CHARGE
The visit was led by the visionary Founder and President of Marshalls University College, Dr. Tetteh Nettey, alongside Prof. Kofi Boakye, Dean of Academic Affairs and Executive Secretary of the Marshalls Doctoral Faculty (MDF). The team was warmly received by Commodore Maxwell Arhen, Flag Officer Commanding the Eastern Naval Command, facilitated by Superintendent Lieutenant Victor Attah Boamah, Chaplain of the Eastern Naval Command.

BRIDGING EDUCATION AND DEFENCE
This partnership embodies a dynamic integration of education and military operations. Applying Maslow’s hierarchy of needs at a national level, it’s evident that defence is paramount. This collaboration aims to empower Ghana Navy officers with academic knowledge and practical skills, creating a robust framework for securing a safe and prosperous environment for all.
