Following the accident of a Bank of Ghana Bullion Van in November 2019 at Techiman, in the Bono East Region of Ghana, the Management of the Bank of Ghana established a committee to investigate the circumstances leading to the accident and make recommendations to improve currency movement operations in the country. 

Amongst other recommendations, the committee suggested to the Management of the Bank to explore other means of distributing currencies across the country. Based on the committee’s report, the Bank engaged the Ghana Air Force on the possibility of airlifting currencies to some of its Regional Offices in the country.

The engagement with the Air Force led to the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), which made the Air Force to commence the lifting of currencies from Accra to Tamale in late 2020. After a successful lifting of currencies via the Tamale-Accra route, the two institutions begun ways of extending the services to other Regional Offices.

Based on the foregoing, the Ghana Air Force in collaboration with the 48 Engineer Regiment of the Ghana Armed Forces, begun the construction of a Helipad at the Bank’s Regional office at Sefwi Boako in the Western North of Ghana. 

At a short ceremony on Thursday, 16th March 2023, the Air Force and the 48 Engineer Regiment handed over the newly constructed Helipad at Sefwi Boako to the Bank.

The helipad will boost the Bank’s currency movement operations to the Western part of the country by airlifting currencies from Accra to Sefwi Boako.
