Immigration officers asked to overcome temptations

THE Director of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Ms Elizabeth Adjei, has advised personnel of the service not to allow themselves to be tempted with offers from people.
In addition, she reminded them to remember that they had their personal integrity and credibility to protect.
Speaking at an annual thanksgiving service in Accra, Ms Adjei further urged the personnel to be disciplined and uphold and protect the integrity and credibility of the service.
A gospel singer, Ms Grace Ashie, provided song ministration, with a musical interlude provided by ‘The Migrant’, the GIS band .
Ms Adjei said although the personnel worked in a difficult environment, they should focus on their challenges and develop strategies to overcome them.
She urged the officers to leverage their strength and work towards achieving the national goal by trusting in God.
She thanked God for preserving their families, as well as spearheading the activities of the service successfully during the year and also for guarding the nation through peaceful elections.
In an interview with the Daily Graphic after the thanksgiving service, Ms Adjei gave the assurance that the GIS would maintain a high level of professionalism in its activities to ensure the safety and well-being of all Ghanaians by properly regulating the activities of foreign nationals who visited the country.
“The public should expect a highly disciplined service that can rise to the standards, an efficient system that can carry out its mandate, a system that is fair and balanced in its operations to protect the well-being of all citizens,” she emphasised.
Pastor Stephen Wengman, who delivered the sermon on the theme, “Celebrating the Goodness of the Lord”, advised the personnel to obey their leadership and make individual commitments to stick to their resolutions for the year.
