In his recent visit to the ongoing construction site of the new passport office in the Upper East region, Mr. Gabriel Agambila, a prominent opinion leader in the Diaspora, has voiced out his concerns about the potential delays in the project’s completion. Apexewsgh reports
Currently, the office stands at only 48% completion, leaving many residents anxious about their ability to access vital passport services.
Mr. Agambila’s visit was driven by a sense of urgency as he witnessed the struggles faced by local citizens. He noted that obtaining or renewing passports often requires residents to embark on long journeys to cities like Tamale, Wa, or even Accra. These treks not only consume valuable time but also pose significant risks to their safety.
Realizing the impact of these challenges, Mr. Agambila is calling on the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honorable Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, to intervene promptly. He believes that a temporary solution is imperative to ease the burden on the residents.
As part of his proposed solution, Mr. Agambila has identified a vacant office within the premises of Commercial Bank in the Upper East region, suggesting it could serve as a temporary passport office. This move would provide a much-needed stopgap measure, granting local residents access to crucial passport services while awaiting the completion of the new office.
Emphasizing the need for a more convenient and accessible solution, Mr. Agambila is determined to discuss the matter further with Minister Ablakwa.
His proactive approach underscores the importance of community advocacy in addressing pressing administrative challenges, particularly in regions that are often overlooked. The residents of the Upper East region wait hopefully for a swift resolution to their passport woes.
