223 Immigration Officers Inducted at Assin Fosu Training Academy
The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) marked the graduation of 223 cadet officers with a lively ceremony at the Immigration Service Training Academy in Assin Fosu. The event, held last Wednesday, celebrated the end of a rigorous six-month training program for Intake 19, drawing a distinguished crowd including Interior Minister Alhaji Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak.
Joining the minister were the GIS Comptroller-General, representatives from allied security forces, the local Member of Parliament, and various notable guests. Kekeli Ofosu emerged as the top cadet, with several peers honored for excellence across different training aspects.
During the occasion, the minister led the new officers in taking the Oath of Secrecy and officially opened a new e-library at the academy. Alhaji Mohammed-Mubarak praised the recruits, encouraging them to embody the values of integrity, dedication, and national pride honed during their training. He cautioned against corruption, underscoring their critical role in safeguarding the nation.
He reaffirmed the Mahama administration’s dedication to bolstering the security sector’s workforce, particularly the GIS, amid growing security challenges. “Under President John Dramani Mahama’s leadership, we will enhance our security personnel to elevate national safety,” he stated. “We are resolute in eliminating crime and equipping all security units with the tools needed to uphold the law unimpeded.”
Highlighting the GIS’s pivotal function in border protection, the minister acknowledged their adaptability despite logistical hurdles. He called on service leaders to boost operational effectiveness, specifically by automating resident permit processes starting next year. “Adopt cutting-edge technology and innovative strategies to manage migration effectively for the nation’s benefit,” he advised, commending their ongoing adoption of modern tools.
