Accra: Thousands Queue At El-Wak For Armed Forces Recruitment - PHOTOS
Thousands of Ghanaian youth have besieged the El-wak sports stadium with
their credentials hoping to be recruited into the Ghana Armed Forces.
The long queue started at dawn on Monday, 19 July 2021.
The
applicants, made up of mostly unemployed youth are being taken through
various stages including screening, body and height check.
The
huge number of applicants had caused vehicular traffic as job seekers
queued from the ends of the walls to gain entry into the stadium.
Last
week, the Minister of Finance, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, gave financial
clearance for the recruitment of close to 12,000 people into the police,
prisons, immigration and education services.
A total of 11,840 jobs are available to be filled.
The clearance covered the Ministry for the Interior, Ministry of National Security and the Ministry of Education.
The
financial clearance, communicated in six separate letters to the
respective institutions said the recruitments will take place on 1
August 2021.
Four of the letters were addressed to the Ministry
for the Interior under whose wings the Ghana Police Service, Ghana
National Fire Service, Ghana Immigration Service and Ghana Prisons
Service fall.
The letter to the Minister for the Interior, Mr Ambrose
Dery, said the Ministry “is hereby granted financial clearance to
enable the Comptroller-General of Ghana Immigration Service to recruit
2,000, the Director-General of the Ghana Prisons Service to recruit
2,000, Chief Fire Officer to recruit 2,000 and the Inspector-General of
Police to recruit 5,000 personnel to augment the staffing position of
the services”.
“The emoluments of the personnel should be charged
against the Compensation of Employees vote of the Ghana Immigration
Service, Ghana Police Service, National Fire Service and Ghana Prisons
Service, under the Ministry for the Interior in the 2021 Annual
Estimates”, the clearance letter stated.
Regarding the National
Security Ministry, the letter, dated 21 June 2021, granted financial
clearance to enable the National Signals Bureau (NSB) to recruit
additional 100 and the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to recruit 140
individuals to augment its workforce.
