Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has revealed that in a span of six years, the ruling government has increased the number of officers in the Immigration Service by 11,450.
As a Special Guest of Honour at the passing out ceremony for the Narcotics Control Commission’s Cadet Intake 7 held at the Ghana Immigration Training School, Assin Foso, on April 28, he revealed that in 2017, the Immigration Service had a total staff of 2,850 officers.
As of now, the number stands at 14,300. He noted that the increased number has been accompanied with “increased training, accommodation and other facilities.”
“By contrast, in the 8 years before we came into office the number of people recruited into the Immigration service was less than 500 in total,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Vice President advised the new recruits to adhere to the principles of hard work, patriotism and integrity in the execution of their duties.
