DIHOC Inaugurated to aid industrialization

DIHOC Inaugurated

Ghana’s ambition to become a hub for defence innovation and manufacturing is taking a decisive step forward with the inauguration of the new governing board of the Defence Industries Holding Company Limited (DIHOC). 

The move is part of a broader strategic push to establish a robust Defence Industrial Complex that aims to support national security, accelerate industrial growth, and help build an all-around economy.

Defence Minister Dr. Edward Omane Boamah announced the inauguration of the DIHOC Board, describing its establishment as a pivotal step in advancing both national defence and economic progress.

“After the 44th Guard Changing Ceremony at the presidency and an impactful meeting with His Excellency the President on the fight against illegal mining yesterday, I had the honor of inaugurating the new Governing Board of the Defence Industries Holding Company Limited (DIHOC)!” 

Dr. Edward Omane Boamah

The newly established board is expected to spearhead DIHOC’s transformation into a national institution that fosters industrialization, strengthens security capabilities, and generates jobs across various sectors of the economy. 

The Defence Industrial Complex lies at the heart of this transformation, envisioned as the nucleus of a dynamic ecosystem for local defence production and strategic collaboration with global partners.

“I’m excited to work with the Board to build a strong institution that will drive Ghana’s industrialization agenda and secure our nation’s future.”

According to him, the vision guiding the Defence Industrial Complex includes creating an environment where Ghana is positioned as a key player in the global defence manufacturing space, forging technology-driven alliances, and delivering long-term economic value.

Dr. Omane Boamah emphasized that the Defence Industrial Complex will play a crucial role in powering the country’s economic growth. 

He noted that it will generate decent and well-paying jobs, expand Ghana’s industrial base, foster technological innovation, and drive export-led initiatives. 

These efforts, he stressed, will make a measurable contribution to the nation’s GDP and enhance long-term economic stability and resilience.

DIHOC Poised To Support 24-Hour Economy Vision

The creation of the Defence Industrial Complex aligns with the government’s broader vision of a 24-hour economy, where productivity is sustained throughout the day and night. 

Dr. Omane Boamah emphasized that the DIHOC initiative would not only address the nation’s defence needs but also become a key pillar in the country’s push for continuous economic engagement across all hours.

“As we pursue this noble vision, we’re also transforming Ghana into a 24-hour economy, where businesses thrive around the clock. This will further boost productivity and create new and additional job opportunities.”

Dr. Edward Omane Boamah

The newly inaugurated board will be chaired by Hon. Ernest Brogya Genfi, the Deputy Defence Minister, who brings a wealth of political and administrative experience to the position. 

Other members of the board include Emmanuel A. Kartey, the Chief Director of the Ministry of Defence, Lt. Gen. William Agyapong (Chief of Defence Staff), Brig. Gen. Kwaku Dankwa Hagan, Brig. Gen. Charles Gbekle (esq.), Kojo Gyeke Darko, Vida Addae, Emmanuel Drah (Member of Parliament), and Col. John Asabre (retired).

This multi-disciplinary team of military leaders, civil servants, and policymakers is expected to bring strategic direction and governance oversight to DIHOC’s operations. 

Their diverse expertise is intended to ensure that the board not only builds a world-class industrial and defence ecosystem but also aligns with national development goals.

Accordingly, Dr. Omane Boamah gave a firm assurance that the government would provide unwavering support for the board’s mandate and long-term initiatives.

He urged all stakeholders to demonstrate unity, dedication, and a shared commitment toward achieving the national vision of a self-sufficient Ghana, firmly rooted in sustainable industrial growth and robust defence manufacturing capabilities. 

This, he emphasized, is essential for ensuring national security, economic empowerment, and global competitiveness. “Let’s build a stronger Ghana together!”

As Ghana looks to position itself as a regional leader in defence manufacturing and industrial growth, the formation of the DIHOC Board marks a significant milestone in that journey. 

The success of the Defence Industrial Complex will depend on how effectively the new leadership navigates both domestic opportunities and global partnerships to deliver results that benefit all Ghanaians.
