This year’s National Cadet Leadership Training Camp took off successfully at the Yamfo Anglican Senior High School and Yamfo Technical Institute in the Ahafo Region from 5th to 11th September 2026.
The camp, aimed at instilling discipline, patriotism and respect for facilities in the various schools, was held under the theme “Truth and Honesty”. It brought together about five hundred (500) student cadets and leaders drawn from all sixteen (16) regions of Ghana.
This year’s camp received massive support from the National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO), the Ghana Armed Forces and other state institutions and organizations. NADMO supported the camp with sleeping tents and major rations, while the Ghana Army, Ghana Navy, Ghana Police Service, Ghana Immigration Service and the Ghana National Fire Service provided resource persons to train the student cadets.
The Customs Division of the Ghana Revenue Authority not only delivered a lecture but also donated Ten Thousand Ghana Cedis (GH¢10,000.00) in support of the Cadet Legacy Project – the renovation of the school’s cook house.
The Executive Director of the MISORNU Safety Centre, Deputy Commissioner of Police David Senanu Eklu (Rtd.), also facilitated a two-day intensive training session on 6th and 7th September, 2026. The training covered Conflict Prevention, Emotional Intelligence, Leadership, and Security and Safety Awareness.
The sessions were designed to equip cadets with practical skills to recognize warning signs, manage emotions, resolve disagreements peacefully, make sound decisions, and respond and report appropriately to authority.
Beyond the training, the student cadets also raised funds to renovate the school’s cook house as part of the National Cadet Legacy Project. The project was commissioned by the District Chief Executive of Tano North Municipal, Hon. Pius Sampson Opoku, with support from the Regional Director of Education Mr. Abraham Fletcher and the National Cadet Coordinator General, Nicholas Nii Tettey-Amarteifio, who served as the Camp Commander.
The Camp Second-In-Command, Cadet Lt. Col. Derk Nii Korle Clottey and the Chief Staff Officer who conducted the officials round the facility, explained that participants raised sponsorship to support government’s efforts.
He added that the renovation works – from electrical installations to painting – were executed by the technical students who are part of the cadet corps and were present at the camp.
The general training sessions were impactful and truly transformed all participants of the camp.
