Ghanaians may soon get passports faster as Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announces plans to make the passport office a 24-hour operation. "We want the passport administration in our country to become a 24-hour operation.

This year, you need to stand and get ready, prepare yourselves.

We are going to run three shifts. "We want to cut down on the waiting time for passports," Ablakwa said during a visit to the passport office in Accra.

He emphasized that the new system will reduce delays. "We believe that within a week, it should be possible to get a Ghanaian passport when you apply for it.
