Qualified applicants will receive an SMS notification specifying their reporting dates, batch numbers, and designated centres. Applicants are urged to regularly check the recruitment portal for updates. Anyone who does not receive a text by Thursday, 20 November 2025, can contact the helpline at 0256405104 or WhatsApp 0256405154 for assistance.
To reduce congestion, families and friends are asked not to accompany recruits, and non-applicants will not be allowed entry into screening centres.
The GAF also addressed the recent stampede incident, confirming that a Board of Inquiry is investigating the circumstances. To ensure transparency, the Greater Accra recruitment team has been replaced. Commodore FA Nyarko, Colonel F Kusi-Darko, and Colonel GB Eduah now serve as Director General Human Resource, Director Manpower, and Director IT, respectively.
The Armed Forces expressed condolences to bereaved families and wished speedy recovery to the injured, all of whom will continue to receive free medical care at the 37 Military Hospital. A special recruitment package will be offered to both the injured and the families of the deceased once recovery is complete.
The GAF emphasized its commitment to a safe, fair, and transparent recruitment process and called for the continued cooperation of the public.
