Minister of Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has stated that the passport office will soon operate 24 hours under the 24-hour economy concept.

He says this forms part of efforts to ensure smooth access to passports.

The Minister revealed that 75,000 passports remain uncollected due to the constraints in accessing the office.

He says the Mahama administration is seeking to introduce a system that makes it easier to apply and obtain passports.
