Mr. Kwame Asuah Takyi, Comptroller General of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), last Tuesday received a delegation from the International Organisation of Migration (IOM).
The Chief of Mission, Ms. Abibatou Wane Fall, was very complimentary of the GIS for their commitment and support for her during her time in Ghana.
The Chief of Mission was accompanied by Mr. Daniel Tagoe, a National Project Officer of IOM, as well as Nnamdi Iwuora, Senior Programmes Manager for IOM.
Speaking at the meeting, Ms. Abibatou Wane Fall officially notified the Comptroller General and his entourage from the GIS about the completion of her official duties and term in Ghana, and impending redeployment to Addis Ababa.
Mr. Kwame Asuah Takyi conveyed his gratitude to the IOM for continuing to assist the Service’s activities. The team discussed a strategic vision and joint initiatives between the Service and IOM, and expressed hope that the GIS would continue to receive the same support from the incoming Chief of Mission in Ghana.
Some designated officers from the GIS including the Deputy Commissioner in charge of Operations, Mr. Isaac Luortey, ACI Somuah Amponsah, the Head of the Intelligence Section, the Chief Staff Officer ACI Lawrence Agyei Agyapong, and the Head of Policy Planning, Evaluation and Monitoring Department (PPMED), ACI Thomas Ewuntomah, were also present at the meeting.
At the end of deliberations, a copy of the GIS quarterly magazine, which includes certain collaborative activities of the two organisations, was given as a souvenir by the CGI to the IOM delegation.
