The honour was in recognition of his immense contributions in the establishment of the College.
The auditorium, now known as the Hamidu Hall, was built with the support of the government through the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund) during the leadership of Major General Kwesi Yankson as Commandant.
The commissioning event, which coincided with the College’s Joint Graduation ceremony of Course 37 and Master of Science in Defence and International Politics programme was attended by Vice President Paa Kwesi Bekoe Amissah-Arthur, Mr Benjamin Bewa-Nyog Kombour, Defence Minister; Major General Obed Boamah Akwa, Chief of the Army Staff; Rear Admiral Seth Amoama, GAFCSC Commandant; and Professor Franklyn A. Manu, Reactor of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA)
Rear Admiral Amoama hailed General Hamidu for his excellent contributions towards the establishment of the College and in the Ghana Armed Forces.
He announced that the College was currently implementing the GETFund Budget allocations for the construction of a 50-unit student hostel project.
He said phase one of the project comprising18 suites was about 80 per cent ready and was expected to be completed by the close of this year.
He said they were hopeful that the whole project would be completed as scheduled so that the College could increase the intakes and roll out other programmes.
He also announced that work had begun on the renovation and expansion of the College’s dining hall and kitchen complex.
An elated General Hamidu expressed his gratitude to the Armed Forces High Command and the College for the honour done him.
At the same event, Prof Manu, who would be retiring as Rector of GIMPA at the end of September was also honoured for his huge contributions in the College’s mentoring by GIMPA.
