From Efiase to SECOBOR: Rev. Wengam leads fresh charge to secure Ghana's borders
Rev. Stephen Yenusom Wengam led a delegation to brief President John Mahama at the Jubilee House, disclosing an innovative project code-named Operation Secure Our Borders (SECOBOR). Rev. Wengam was optimistic that SECOBOR would strengthen the capacity of the service and contribute more effectively to national security and development. Rev. Wengam said, "Weak border control continues to expose Ghana to smuggling, human trafficking, and illicit trade, which pose direct threats to national security and public safety."
Rev. Wengam said the GIS generated GHS 546,042,386 in 2025, of which GHS 218,416,954, or 40%, was retained. Of the 40%, 25% was earmarked for the construction of the GIS National Headquarters complex, leaving only 15% to support administrative and operational activities. President Mahama said his government "stands firmly behind efforts to retool and modernise the GIS".
The Minister of the Interior, Alhaji Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak, announced that seven new regional immigration offices are being constructed nationwide.
