Mahama backs immigration modernization efforts

President John Dramani Mahama has assured the Governing Council of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) that the government stands firmly behind efforts to retool and modernise the Service.

The assurance was given during a courtesy call at Jubilee House by the Council led by Interior Minister Hon. Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak. The meeting was to introduce Council members formally, brief the President on governance reforms, and seek his guidance.

President Mahama described the GIS as “the first point of entry into Ghana” and “a symbol of our complete sovereignty.”

He also commended the Council for launching Project SECOBOR (Secure Our Borders), an initiative aimed at mobilising public and private partnerships to strengthen border security despite limited state resources.
