The Comptroller-General of Immigration (CGI), Mr Kwame Asuah Takyi has disclosed to his men in Koforidua, prior to Ghana’s Independence Day celebration that some of them would soon be deployed to Ghana’s missions abroad to serve as Consular Officers.
He has, therefore, asked Immigration officers throughout the country to justify such massive support from Government by working very hard to safeguard Ghana’s borders and also contribute in strengthening internal security.
According to him, the GIS has seen massive retooling under the Akufo-Addo government, saying “In the history of the GIS, no government has ever invested in it than this current government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.”
According to him, there has been unprecedented increase in recruitment into the Service, which has quadrupled the manpower base.
The government has also supplied specialised vehicles for border patrols, expansion in both residential and office accommodation among others. To him, the only to show appreciation to the government to is to work hard to secure the borders of the country.
He admonished officers of the Eastern Regional Command of the Ghana Immigration Service to let discipline be their guiding principles in their career.
Mr Asuah Takyi was welcomed to the Eastern regional Command of the service by the Deputy Commissioner of Immigration (DCOI), Faisal Disu who extolled the great leadership style of the CGI, which has led to the transformation of the GIS.
He appealed to him to assist the Command renovate a duty post they have established at Donkorkrom in the Affram Plains.
