The ceremony signifies the enormous respect the President has for members of the Armed Forces, who have made colossal contributions to making the nation's security their top priority in life.
President Barrow encouraged the newly promoted officers to explore further innovative ways of rebranding the image of GAF, "as a noble national defence institution, use emerging technologies to your advantage.” This is in line with the Security Sector Reform and the NDP Yiriwa agenda.
Speaking on their behalf after administering six oaths, the Director of the Medical Service of GAF, Colonel Musa Kah, expressed gratitude and reassured of their loyalty and readiness to serve the country.
The state decorations were awarded to service members who are deserving in character and have demonstrated patriotism, dedication and commitment to duty.
