The Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) has introduced a new Regional Rotational Transfer System, under which officers will be reassigned every six months to different sectors and commands within their respective regions.
The Comptroller-General of the GIS, Samuel Basintale Amadu, announced the initiative during a durbar with officers of the Upper West Regional Headquarters.
He explained that the new arrangement is intended to expose personnel to varied operational environments, broaden their experience and enhance their professional competencies.
The system replaces the previous practice, under which officers could remain at a single duty post for four to five years before being transferred.
Addressing the officers, Mr Amadu also admonished them not to be discouraged by the recent explosion at Hamile that affected some of their colleagues.
He urged them to remain focused, resilient and guided by the core values and principles of the GIS, maintaining high morale and upholding the highest standards of professionalism and integrity.
The Comptroller-General commended the personnel for their dedication, discipline and commitment to duty. Touching on officers' welfare, he underscored the importance of good health in effective service delivery, urging personnel to prioritise their physical and mental well-being by undertaking regular medical check-ups and adopting healthy lifestyles.
Mr Amadu further reaffirmed management's commitment to the welfare, professional growth and career development of personnel.
He called on officers to continue serving with dedication, discipline, loyalty and a renewed sense of purpose in advancing the mandate of the Ghana Immigration Service.
