The Office of the President has ordered the recall of all Diplomatic and Service Passports issued under the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo-led administration.
This is part of efforts to enhance the integrity of Ghana’s official travel documents and diplomatic engagements.
In a letter addressed to the Chief Director of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on January 14, the Secretary to the President, Callistus Mahama, emphasised that the recall aligns with the government’s commitment to ensuring the proper use and administration of official travel documents in compliance with national and international standards.
The president set a January 24 deadline for all holders of such passports to submit them to the Foreign Affairs Ministry.
The Ministry’s Chief Director also directed to ensure that a thorough review will be conducted on all returned passports to ensure they align with the current eligibility criteria for issuance.
