The Management and staff of the Ghana Immigration Service on Monday held its annual thanksgiving service with a call on staff to reflect on the good deeds of Jesus Christ who exhibit light and eschew negative attitudes that has the tendency to affects the Institution.

Led by the Comptroller- General of the Ghana Immigration Service (CGIS), Kwame Asuah Takyi, management and staff could not hold themselves but danced to several melodious tunes from the GIS choir such as “Afe Ako Aprow” at the forecourt of the Headquarters of GIS in Accra.

While observing minutes of silence for personnel who died in line of duty, the staff also prayed and thanked God for protection over the years giving sometimes the challenges faced by some personnel of the service at the borders.

Comptroller- General of GIS, Kwame Asuah Takyi in a New Year message said Christians should assess themselves daily to appreciate God’s goodness which is portrayed in the light shed on humanity by Jesus Christ.

He said Christians are therefore required to be trustworthy and assess themselves to realign themselves to God by showing the light in their deeds as an example of people created in the image of God.

“We should always make Christmas as part of our lives showing Christ and not only at the end of the year or 25th. Christmas is the living sprit in you and you should live it moment by moment. Daily Christmas means aligning yourself and your spirit with God.

He also advised the staff to work hard in whatever task they were assigned and be grateful to God for the opportunity to serve the country in different capacities and be patient to rise through the ranks citing examples of staff who through hard work and dedication to duty at lower ranks have risen through the ranks and were now in senior positions
He also commended the current Government under the leadership of President Akufo Addo for retooling GIS with the resources needed to enable them perform their constitutional duties expected of them.

He said that although GIS continues to seek for assistance to improve its operations, he said evidence available showed that GIS in the last seven has received the highest form of support than any other government.

Mr. Asuah Takyi stressed that through teamwork by management and staff, GIS has also become one of the enviable and successful public service Institutions that are attracted to many graduates in recent times.

While commending managing and staff for their collective role for the successes chalked in border management among others, he also advised them to refrain from engaging in partisan politics as stated in the acts that established the Institution and focus on their work at all times.

He also urged the next successor to take the Institution a notch higher and help continue to enhance its operations as others have done in the last seven years while assuring that he was committed to offer guidance and assistance to his successor.

Head of Chaplain of GIS, Chief Superintendent, Rev. Michael Baakwaw in a sermon also admonished the staff to be thankful to God for God’s grace mercies that has sustained them over the years.

Rev. Baakwaw further asked them to appreciate the blessings of God, particularly for life and good health since they joined the service even though they may have faced one form of challenge or the other in the course of their responsibilities.

Maud Anima Quainoo, Samuel Ayer, Evelyn Lotsu, Yaw Owusu Achiaw and Prudence Aku Sosu were also introduced as officers appointed to the rank of Commissioners by the Comptroller General, Kwame Asuah Takyi at the thanksgiving service.
