Gov’t to announce agencies for 1-3-3 shift system by end of 2026 – Apanga
The Acting Deputy Chief Executive Officer of the Gaming Commission of Ghana, Lamtiig Apanga, says more public institutions could adopt the 1-3-3 shift system before the end of 2026.
Speaking on Breakfast Daily on Channel One TV on Wednesday, September 16, Mr Apanga said the government was reviewing sectors and public agencies to determine which could effectively operate under the arrangement.
He said the institutions to be included in the system were expected to be announced before the end of the year, although he did not provide a specific timeline.
“There are reviews of certain sectors of the economy, and particular agencies, that can accommodate the 1-3-3 shift system. In no time, government will announce that,” he said.
“It’s difficult for me to give specific timelines, but I can assure you that hopefully, by the close of the year, government will make a specific pronouncement,” he added.
Mr Apanga said similar shift arrangements were already being implemented at some public institutions, including the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority (DVLA), the National Identification Authority (NIA) and the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).
“We’ve already seen similar things going on. At DVLA, we’ve seen this at National Identification Authority as well. We’ve seen this at National Health Insurance as well. We’re extending,” he said.
The proposed expansion forms part of the government’s broader 24-hour economy agenda, which seeks to extend operating hours and improve service delivery.
Under the 1-3-3 system, one job position is shared by three people working separate eight-hour shifts, allowing an institution or business to operate around the clock.
