Officials at Ghana's passport application centres will soon implement a three-shift system as part of plans to introduce a 24-hour passport application service.

Minister for Foreign Affairs Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa disclosed this initiative during a meeting last Wednesday with foreign service officials, outlining an extensive plan to overhaul the current passport regime, which is burdened by a backlog of applications awaiting processing. "You've also heard about our major reform.

We want the passport administration in our country to operate 24 hours a day.

This year, you need to be prepared as we will be running three shifts.
