TDC makes military training mandatory for National Service Personnel

TDC Ghana Ltd has announced that it will accept only national service personnel who have undergone military training.

The Managing Director of the company, Courage K. M. Nunekpeku, explained that the policy aims to ensure discipline and teamwork among service personnel.

He disclosed this on Friday, October 10, 2025, at a passing-out parade held for the company’s newly trained Security Task Force at the First Infantry Battalion (1BN) at Michel Camp.

The event saw 38 personnel graduate after completing an intensive two-week training programme conducted in collaboration with the military.

Mr Nunekpeku expressed deep appreciation to the 1BN for their continued support in shaping TDC’s Security Task Force into a disciplined and professional unit.

He described the occasion as a proud moment in TDC’s history and emphasised that discipline, emotional intelligence, and first-aid competence are critical attributes for effective security operations.

Mr Nunekpeku further disclosed that future Task Force recruitments would be done collectively to ensure uniform training and consistent standards among all recruits.

He encouraged the newly trained personnel to serve as good ambassadors of TDC, perform their duties with integrity, and contribute to maintaining safety and order within the Tema Acquisition Area, particularly in addressing issues of encroachment.

He also commended the Commanding Officer of the First Infantry Battalion, Lt. Col. Frank Adams, for his leadership and steadfast collaboration, reaffirming TDC’s commitment to strengthening its partnership with the Ghana Armed Forces.

The Managing Director noted that the passing-out ceremony marked another milestone in TDC Ghana Ltd’s pursuit of security excellence and institutional discipline.
