The Ashanti Regional Command of the Narcotics Control Commission (NACOC) has received a logistical boost following the donation of two motorcycles by the Aboboyaa Group of Companies to support its field operations.
The motorcycles, donated by the company’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Nana Susubiribi Aboboyaa I, are expected to improve the Command’s mobility as it steps up activities to prevent substance abuse and combat illicit drug activities across the region.
A statement issued to the Ghana News Agency said the gesture was intended to strengthen the operational capacity of the Regional Command, particularly in areas requiring quick movement and increased field presence.
Presenting the motorcycles to NACOC’s Director-General, Major General Maxwell Obuba Mantey, Nana Aboboyaa I said the donation was motivated by the Commission’s important role in protecting communities from the consequences of substance abuse.
He said supporting NACOC with logistics would enable its officers to carry out field operations more effectively and contribute to efforts to protect young people from the harmful effects of drugs.
Receiving the motorcycles on behalf of NACOC, Major General Mantey expressed appreciation to the Aboboyaa Group of Companies for the support and commended the company for contributing to the Commission’s mandate.
He said the new motorcycles would particularly enhance the Ashanti Regional Command’s ability to respond quickly to operational needs and strengthen its presence in communities.
“The donation will significantly enhance the operational capabilities of the Ashanti Regional Command, particularly in areas requiring swift movement and field presence,” he said.
Major General Mantey subsequently handed over the motorcycles to the Deputy Commander of the Ashanti Regional Command and directed the Command to ensure that the vehicles were properly maintained and deployed effectively.
He further called on other individuals, businesses and organisations to partner with NACOC in its efforts to tackle substance abuse and illicit drug activities.
According to him, stronger collaboration between the Commission and the private sector was essential to building safer, healthier and drug-free communities across Ghana.
