He said the GAF had increased in population, for which reason they needed more residential accommodation.
He noted that in spite of the challenges facing them, members of the GAF were dedicated to their work and rendering selfless services to ensure national security.
End-of-year dinner
Mr Adjei gave the assurance at the annual end-of-year dinner/dance of the GAF at the Officers Mess, near the 37 Military Hospital in Accra last Saturday.
The event was to fete the officers for the services they rendered to the nation throughout last year.
37 Military Hospital
Mr Adjei said the country had, in the past years, suffered some natural disasters, disease outbreaks and strikes and commended officers at the 37 Military Hospital, for example, for their rapid response to the care needed by patients and victims of the disasters.
He said the hospital's ability to handle such situations, in spite of its challenges, gave an assurance to the people and the government that the Military Hospital was capable of performing under the most challenging situations.
He also commended the officers for their continued role of catering for clients and patients from all parts of the country, as well as serving as a referral centre.
Mr Adjei said the ministry was working at improving the infrastructure and logistics at the hospital to ensure smooth running of the facility.
