The Minister of the Interior, Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has commissioned the Bono Regional Command of the National Signals Bureau (NSB) in Sunyani, emphasizing the government’s commitment to enhancing national security.
Hon. Muntaka underscored the significance of the new command, stating that it will serve as a central hub for signals intelligence, leveraging skilled professionals and advanced tools to deliver real-time and actionable intelligence to security services.
He explained that the command is expected to address security threats in the Bono Region, including armed robbery, cyber-crime, chieftaincy disputes, farmer-herder conflicts, and smuggling across borders.
The Hon. Minister urged citizens to support the NSB team and view the command as a shared resource for their security and prosperity, emphasizing that “it takes a whole region to secure its peace.”
The President of the Bono Regional House of Chiefs, Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II, who is also the Paramount Chief of the Dormaa Traditional Area, thanked the government for the facility aimed at enhancing security in the region and the country as a whole.
He used the occasion to talk about the Gun Amnesty programme aimed at reducing illegal guns in the system and urged all those in possession of illegal arms to surrender them before the 15th January 2026 deadline.
The Bono Regional Minister, Hon. Joseph Addae Akwaboa, described the Bono NSB Regional Command as a landmark and part of government’s efforts to strengthen Ghana’s security architecture in the country.
The NSB is Ghana’s signals intelligence agency, responsible for collecting, analyzing, and disseminating foreign signals intelligence to support national security decision-making.
Its key functions include collecting and processing signals intelligence, conducting cyber security operations, providing technical security support to government agencies, and supporting law enforcement with communications interception and analysis.
