Video: Thousands Queue For Ghana Immigration Service Recruitment

Thousands of young Ghanaians on Monday (25 October) queued at the El-Wak Sports Stadium in the capital, Accra to go through the recruitment processes for the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS).

 

Interacting with Asaase News, most of them said they arrived at the stadium at dawn to catch an early spot for the screening process.

The queue extended beyond the Lands Commission office near the Cantonments post office.

 

 

 

The head of public relations of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Superintendent Michael Amoako-Atta, told Asaase News that “it is unfortunate that when they came in the morning, the gates were not opened so you find them all outside. Now they are all being brought inside in an orderly manner for smooth screening.”

Amoako-Atta said the screening exercise is very important for the Immigration Service to make physical checks to verify the information provided by the applicants on their online portals.

“The most important thing is that we want to be sure that the grades they entered into the system are the same grades that they have on their certificates. This is because they were alone with their machines and they can put in whatever grades they want but this is the time for us to do physical checks,” he added.
