A new chip-embedded passport for Ghanaians was yesterday unveiled by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, at a ceremony at the Passport office in Accra. "From today, we roll out the chip-embedded passport, which means the passport office will no longer issue the old biometric passport," he said.
The Chief of Staff, Mr Julius Debrah, as part of the ceremony was issued with his chip-embedded passport by Mr Ablakwa.
Receiving his chip-embedded passport, Mr Debrah underscored the importance of using innovation by government officials to address the challenges of the country.
According to him, the rollout of the chip-embedded passport represented such a move by the government, which was worthy of commendation.
