“I appealed to Chairman of UNASCO to assist us with mattresses, and he has generously responded by donating 30 mattresses.

“My predecessor began constructing a new office complex to serve as the regional head office, but it is not yet completed. We need help from the public to finish the building.” She said.
According to her, governance is a collective effort; hence, there is a need for everyone to come on board to support not only the Fire Command but all other state institutions in need of assistance
“Although it is the government’s responsibility to provide offices for state institutions, governance is a collective effort, and well-meaning Ghanaians are kindly urged to come on board and support us.” She stated
