The Comptroller-General of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS), Kwame Asuah Takyi, has fulfilled his promise to promote officers who represented the service in Armwrestling at the 2023 Africa Games in Accra.

A communiqué from the GIS headquarters mentioned the captain of the National Armwrestling team, Edward Yamoah Asamoah, and coach Nii Otoo Larkyne, who excelled in armwrestling at the games.

The officers who led team Ghana to win several medals, including gold, silver, and bronze, have been promoted to various ranks for outstanding and exemplary performance.

As a result of their outstanding performance, the team captain, Assistant Inspector Edward Yamoah Asamoah, has been promoted to the rank of Inspector of the Ghana Immigration Service, while the team coach, ITO  Nii Otoo Larkyne, now holds  the same rank within the service.

The Comptroller-General congratulated the officers for their hard work and dedication: “Your achievement is a testament to the service’s commitment to excellence. We are proud of you, and this  promotion is a well-deserved recognition of your efforts.”

Ghana’s Armwrestling team won 41 medals at the 2023 Africa Games, and the GIS officers played a crucial role in the team’s success.

The promotions are a fitting reward for their achievement and fulfill the Comptroller-General’s promise to recognize and reward excellence.
