"Dora Esinam, I think they said the publication is 4th right?"

Charles Ayikpa shared:

"They didn't say 4th. It's after 4th."

Boshyeba Isaac replied to his fellow user:

"Charles Ayikpa, they stated don't challenge, on their preface, it says publication of results will be on 4th March 2026. But now, when you track your application, it was "after 4th".

Jerome Humble Dorleku commented:

"Then I guess the sentence they put across there is saying. Results publication is 4th, shouldn't be like that, but well, 4th March ends at 11:59 pm."

Scofield Muzic added:

"Ministry of the Interior, Ghana, we are still waiting as you promised. You said publication of results will be on the 4th. Today is the 4th. Please don't change the narrative. After 4th can be 10 years, right? Please don't play with our minds. Let your words be solid."
