The Comptroller-General of Immigration (CGI), Mr Samuel Basintale Amadu, has urged officers of the Upper West Regional Headquarters of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) to uphold professionalism, integrity and discipline in the discharge of their duties.
Addressing a durbar of officers, Mr Amadu commended personnel for their dedication and commitment to duty, urging them to maintain high morale and remain resolute in carrying out their responsibilities.
He cautioned officers against becoming discouraged by recent incidents involving some of their colleagues, encouraging them instead to remain focused, resilient and guided by the core values and principles of the Service.
As part of efforts to improve operational efficiency and broaden officers’ professional experience, the CGI announced the introduction of a Regional Rotational Transfer System.
Under the new arrangement, officers will be reassigned every six months to different sectors and commands within their respective regions.
Mr Amadu explained that the system would expose personnel to different operational environments, broaden their experience and strengthen their professional competencies.
The initiative will replace the previous arrangement under which officers could remain at a single duty post for between four and five years before being transferred.
On personnel welfare, Mr Amadu stressed that good health was essential to effective service delivery.
He encouraged officers to prioritise their physical and mental well-being through regular medical check-ups and healthy lifestyle choices to ensure they remained fit for the demands of the Service.
The Comptroller-General also reaffirmed Management’s commitment to the welfare, professional growth and career development of personnel.
He urged officers to continue serving with dedication, discipline and loyalty, while embracing a renewed sense of purpose in advancing the mandate of the Ghana Immigration Service.
