The Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, has urged applicants who were disqualified in the ongoing security service recruitment exercise to remain patient, assuring them that more opportunities will be created as the economy improves.
Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, March 10, the minister acknowledged the disappointment many young people may feel after failing to secure a place in the recruitment process.
He explained that the limited number of vacancies within the security services restricts the number of applicants who can be absorbed at a time.
“I know a lot of young people may be disappointed, but they should exercise restraint. This is not going to be the first and last recruitment that the government is going to be having,” he said.
Mr Muntaka added that the government remains committed to expanding recruitment into the security services when economic conditions allow for an increase in personnel intake.
He further noted that the government, under President John Dramani Mahama, intends to create more opportunities for young people seeking to join the security services as the country’s economic situation improves.
