The Warrant Officers’ (WOs) and Senior Non-Commissioned Officers’ (SNCOs) Mess Dinner Dance was held on Friday 30 January 2026, at the Air Force Base in Accra. The event brought together distinguished officers and invited guests who witnessed a spectacle marked by elegance, camaraderie and tradition.

The event was characterised by soothing music, lively dancing and a thrilling atmosphere that lasted late into the night.

In a speech read on behalf of the former Chief of the Defence Staff, Air Marshal Michael Samson Oje (Rtd), by the Chief of the Air Staff (CAS), Air Vice Marshal Eric Agyen-Frempong, he expressed his pleasure and deep honour in being associated with the Mess Dinner Dance. He noted that such gatherings provide not only an avenue for social interaction but also an opportunity for reflection on service, leadership and legacy within the armed forces.

Air Marshal Oje emphasised the critical role played by Warrant Officers and SNCOs in the Ghana Air Force. He described them as the backbone of the service who translate command intent into action, enforce standards, mentor junior ranks and maintain stability during both challenging and successful periods. He further highlighted that the Mess is more than a social venue; it is an institution that preserves core values, reinforces discipline and builds cohesion among personnel.

He encouraged members to continue demonstrating discipline, professionalism, restraint and integrity, noting that the public image of the Ghana Air Force is largely shaped by their conduct both in and out of uniform. He also extended his best wishes for good health, professional growth and fulfilment in service as the year 2026 progresses.

On his part, the President of the Mess Committee (PMC), Warrant Officer Class One (WOI) Antwi Lutterrodt Richard described the event as a celebration of heritage, unity and leadership maturity within the Ghana Air Force.

WOI Lutterrodt commended the CAS for his unwavering support to the Mess and reaffirmed the committee’s commitment to balancing tradition with relevance. He noted that while the Mess must remain disciplined, orderly and respectful, it should also provide a space for members to relax, interact and build lasting companionship. The PMC further applauded the organising committee and all contributors whose efforts made the evening a memorable success.
