Accra, Nov. 9, GNA -The Comptroller-General of Immigration (CGI), Mr. Samuel Basintale Amadu has urged officers of the Upper West Regional Headquarters to remain steadfast in the discharge of their duties, maintain high morale, and continue to uphold the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.
Addressing a durbar of officers, the CGI commended personnel for their dedication, discipline, and commitment to duty and encouraged them to remain resolute in the performance of their responsibilities.
He admonished officers not to be discouraged by recent incidents involving some of their colleagues but to remain focused, resilient, and guided by the core values and principles of the Ghana Immigration Service.
As part of efforts to strengthen operational efficiency and broaden officers’ professional exposure, Mr. Amadu announced the introduction of a Regional Rotational Transfer System, under which officers will be reassigned every six months to different sectors and commands within their respective regions.
He explained that the initiative is intended to expose personnel to varied operational environments, broaden their experience, and enhance their professional competencies.
“The new arrangement will replace the previous practice, under which officers could remain at a single duty post for four to five years before being transferred,” he added.
Speaking on officers’ welfare, the CGI underscored the importance of good health in effective service delivery. He urged personnel to prioritize their physical and mental well-being by undertaking regular medical check-ups and adopting healthy lifestyles to ensure they remain fit and ready for the demands of the service.
Mr. Amadu further reaffirmed Management’s commitment to the welfare, professional growth, and career development of personnel.
He called on officers to continue serving with dedication, discipline, loyalty, and a renewed sense of purpose in advancing the mandate of the Ghana Immigration Service.
