Ghana's Foreign Affairs Minister, Okudzeto Ablakwa, recently inaugurated committees to oversee the implementation of a 24-hour passport application service. This initiative is part of President John Dramani Mahama's broader 24-hour economy policy.

The 24-hour economy policy aims to encourage businesses and public services to operate around the clock, promoting productivity, job creation, and economic growth. By extending passport office hours to 24/7, the government hopes to improve efficiency, reduce delays, and create more job opportunities.

This move aligns with the policy's goal of transforming Ghana into an export-driven economy and addressing unemployment challenges. The policy also emphasizes the importance of modernizing public services and leveraging technology to streamline processes. Source: Yaw Kisi .
