Total staff of Immigration Service up from 2,850 in 2017 to 14,300 in 2023 – Dr Bawumia

Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has said that the Akufo-Addo-led government has created many opportunities for the recruitment of personnel into the security services.

As an example, he said, when the government assumed office in 2017 the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) had a total staff of 2,850 officers.

Today, six years later, the number has increased to 14,300 as we have increased training, accommodation and other facilities, he stressed.

Dr Bawumia said these when he served as the 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.

“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 stated.
