The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has announced the commencement of training for the first batch of recruits following the completion of its latest nationwide recruitment exercise.
In a press release, the military disclosed that a total of 2,000 recruits have been selected as part of the first batch out of four planned groups.
According to the statement dated March 17, the selected recruits have been invited to report to their respective selection centres across all 16 regions on Wednesday, March 18, at 9:00 a.m.
The recruits are expected to collect their appointment letters and prospectuses ahead of the start of their training.
The statement also addressed applicants who were unable to proceed due to medical conditions. It encouraged those with curable medical issues identified during the screening process to seek treatment, assuring them that they would be reconsidered at a later date at no cost.
In a notable development, the military disclosed that 18 individuals who sustained injuries during the El-Wak Stadium stampede last year have been included in the first batch of recruits.
Additionally, five others have been given the opportunity after being sponsored by families of victims who lost their lives in the same incident.
The Armed Forces further assured applicants who were not selected in the first batch to remain calm, stating that the selection process for the remaining batches is still ongoing.
