Officials of Legon Cities and Gulf Energy with top hierarchy of GAF
The Chief of Army Staff, Major General Thomas Oppong-Peprah, has praised the efforts of Gulf Energy and its affiliate company, Legon Cities Football Club, for its continued support for the activities of the Ghana Armed Forces.

The COAS, who represented the Chief of Defence Staff, Lieutenant General Obed Akwa, stated that the project had come at a very opportune time as the Military High Command places a lot of premium on dignified accommodation for its trainees.
The trainees who are currently being housed in tents and a dormitory have been at the mercy of the weather over the years, which they have had to make do with.
The Army Commander further added that his vision, among others, is to see to it that the area within which the project is located is also given a facelift.
On his part, the General Manager of Gulf Energy and Legon Cities FC, Martin Agboyo, who represented Board Chairman Richard K. Atikpo, revealed that his companies are committed to enhancing the lives and welfare of the everyday Ghanaian as part of their corporate social responsibilities, with the military not being an exception.
