Thousands of hopeful applicants gathered early at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium to take part in the Ghana Armed Forces’ ongoing recruitment exercise.
The event, which kicked off promptly at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium, attracted more than 6,000 prospective recruits from the Central Region and beyond, all eager to serve their nation.
Despite the large crowd that thronged the stadium and the complexity of managing such a high turnout, the exercise proceeded steadily under the watchful eyes of Senior Officers of the Ghana Armed Forces stationed at the venue.
Though the officers declined to speak with the media, Ghana News Agency (GNA) observed a smooth exercise.
Some of the applicants arrived at dawn and lined up outside the stadium gates with great anticipation, and though the process of entering the stadium proved physically demanding for some of them because of the large numbers, there were no reported incidents.
Instead, minor challenges such as occasional heckling, pushing, and shoving among the crowd unsettled the atmosphere briefly, but order was quickly restored within minutes.
An applicant, Kwame Mensah, 22 years old, described the experience as intense yet inspiring.
“It was tough getting inside with so many people, but I am determined to push through. This is a chance to serve my country and build a future,” he said.
Another applicant, Ama Serwaa, 19, expressed mixed feelings about the process, saying, “The organisation is good, but with so many applicants, it gets overwhelming. I just hope the challenges do not affect our chances. Still, I am proud to be here.”
