According to Ghana News Agency: ‘Ghana’s Future: Our Collective Responsibility.’ He stated that the objective was to highlight the role of security personnel in upholding law and order while also contributing meaningfully to national development.

Deputy Director of Prisons (DDP) Mr. Wilson Sallah, who delivered the keynote presentation, called on participants to reflect on the kind of legacy they wish to leave for future generations. He raised concerns about issues such as illegal mining (galamsey), which is destroying the nation’s water bodies, and questioned whether importing necessities like water should become the norm. He emphasized that the constitution applies to everyone, including prison officers, who must uphold the law without bias or discrimination. ‘In the criminal justice system, your role as officers is crucial. You ensure that justice is upheld, and society remains safe,’ he noted.

Mr. Sallah urged officers to embody the three key values in their service: Patriotism, Integrity, and Discipline, which should guide them at all times. DDP Mr. Edward Ashun, the Regional Commander of Prisons, commended the NCCE for the initiative and suggested that civic education be incorporated into the national curriculum through collaboration with the Ghana Education Service (GES) to instill civic responsibility in children from an early age. Rev. Vincent Adzika, the Municipal NCCE Director, also interacted with the junior officers, distributing copies of the 1992 Constitution and organizing a quiz to help reinforce their understanding of civic duties.
