He has, therefore, asked Immigration officers throughout the country to justify such massive support from Government by working very hard to safeguard Ghana’s borders and also contribute in strengthening internal security.

According to him, the GIS has seen massive retooling under the Akufo-Addo government, saying “In the history of the GIS, no government has ever invested in it than this current government of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.”

According to him, there has been unprecedented increase in recruitment into the Service, which has quadrupled the manpower base.
