Ghana Armed Forces Begins 2024 Recruitment; Public Urged To Report Fraud – Check Entry Requirements

The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has officially begun the 2024 recruitment for the Regular Career Officer Course and Short Service Commission Officers.

In a public notice regarding enlistment into the Ghana Military Academy, GAF emphasised that it does not work with intermediaries or charge any fees for recruitment and urged the public to report any individuals who present themselves as intermediaries and request payment to assist candidates.

“The Ghana Armed Forces further wishes to state that individuals who present themselves as middlemen, intermediaries or agents demanding payment in order to assist any candidate(s) should be reported to the nearest Military Installation or Police Station. In the same vein, interested applicants who choose to pay monies to purported agents for help are equally culpable in the fraudulent act,”

Interested applicants are encouraged to check the Daily Graphic of Friday, September 13, 2024, via Graphicnewsplus.com for full details about the enlistment process. They are also cautioned to avoid engaging with fraudulent recruitment platforms on social media.

Scratch cards for the online application are available for GH¢350.00 at designated Ghana Post offices nationwide. The online application portal was opened on Friday, September 13 and candidates can log in to apply.
