“I want to thank NADMO, the navy, the Ghana Armed Forces, the Ghana Police and all the emergency teams for the work they have already started doing, so please be connected to each other. If a call comes to the National Fire Service and you think it is something you need to link them to NADMO, don’t say this is not for us, so I am giving you NADMO’s number; please let us work together, let us operationalise the thing as one unit,” he added.
