The Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) has confirmed that the suspended 2025/2026 recruitment screening exercise for the Greater Accra Region will officially resume on Thursday, November 20, 2025. The announcement was made in a statement issued by Captain Veronica Adzo Arhin of the Ghana Navy, Acting Director General of Public Relations.
According to the statement, the screening will be held across eight sub-centres in five key locations, with strict crowd-control measures to ensure a safe and orderly process.
“All qualified applicants, in batches of 600 persons, will receive SMS notifications with their reporting dates, batch numbers, and designated centres,” the statement said.
Designated screening centres include:
-
El-Wak Stadium – 2 centres
-
Nicholson Park, Burma Camp – 2 centres
-
Air Force Base, Burma Camp
-
Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC), Teshie – 2 centres
-
Eastern Naval Command, Tema
Applicants are advised to follow instructions in their SMS messages and check the recruitment portal frequently for updates. Those who do not receive a message by November 20 are encouraged to contact the official helpline or WhatsApp support for assistance.
To prevent overcrowding, GAF cautioned that family and friends are not allowed at the centres, stressing that non-applicants will not be permitted entry.
The recruitment exercise was earlier suspended after a tragic stampede that resulted in casualties. A Board of Inquiry is currently probing the incident.
For transparency, GAF has restructured the Greater Accra recruitment leadership, appointing:
-
Commodore F.A. Nyarko – Human Resources
-
Colonel F. Kusi-Darko – Manpower
-
Colonel G.B. Eduah – Information Technology
Captain Arhin noted that anyone found culpable will face sanctions.
She further expressed the Armed Forces’ condolences to affected families and assured that injured applicants will continue to receive free medical care at the 37 Military Hospital until fully recovered.
GAF also announced a special recruitment package for the injured and their families as part of ongoing support.
“The Ghana Armed Forces continues to count on the cooperation of the general public in this endeavour,” the statement concluded.
