Zoomlion Ghana Limited has extended its disinfection exercise to the Eastern Naval Command in Tema.
The exercise saw three spraying teams disinfect the barracks, park and various offices of the naval base. In addition, two navy ships at the Tema Harbour Berth 9— GNS eshworp 37 and GNS Bonsup 31also benefited from the exercise.
Addressing journalists after the exercise, Flag Officer Commanding (FOC) the Eastern Naval Command, Commodore Samuel Walker, was full of praise for Zoomlion Ghana Limited.
“This whole exercise started via just a phone call from the general headquarters of the Ghana Armed Forces—just last weekend. And Zoomlion followed it up with a coordinating conference a couple of days ago,” he disclosed.
According to him, he was quite impressed when he received the operational instructions for the exercise.
“I have no doubt in my mind that they have some military background,” Commodore Walker indicated.
He said that personnel at the command were strictly observing all the COVID-19 protocols.
“So far, to God be the glory, we have not recorded any positive Covid-19 case in the command,” he joyously expressed.
He recounted that some of his personnel were deployed during the partial lockdown period.
“We contributed troops as part of the operations and we supported the Southern Command for these operations, and after it our personnel were made to go through mandatory testing. And all of them came out clean,” he revealed.
Commodore Walker further noted the navy has deployed personnel along the country’s beaches to help enforce the COVID-19 safety protocols.
He gave an assurance that his command will not relent in its efforts to enforce the Covid-19 preventive protocols that have been instituted.
“We have deployed our personnel along the beaches, adding that for the Eastern Naval Command our area of responsibility stretches from Winneba-Aflao,” he said.
Thus, he said, his command has had interactions with the fisher-folks as well as the chiefs in these areas, indicating that the cooperation has been cordial so far.
