The Deputy Director, Consumer and Corporate Affairs at the National Communications Authority (NCA), Mr Kwame Gyan has urged Ghanaians who do not have their Ghana Cards to go for it in order to re-register their sim cards successfully.
According ti him, apart from the Ghana Card, no other card will be accepted for the re-registration of sim cards.
Few days ago, the Minister of Communication, Ursula Owusu Ekuful, announced that the re-registration and registration of sim cards will commence on Friday, 1st October 2021.
The exercise is expected to last for six months, ending on 31st March 2022.
According to the Minister in a Facebook Post, the SIM which is not registered at the end of the exercise will be blocked.
Speaking with Ekourba Gyasi Simpremu on Atinka TV’s morning show, Ghana Nie, Mr Kwame Gyan said, “We started the Ghana card registration three years, and we have six months to do this exercise and so if you do not have it find time to do it.”
For the aged and customers who cannot go to the office to register, he said without seeing the person, the registration cannot be complete because they want to capture the biometric details of everybody.
“We want to confirm that the person is the same on the card and the details are the same so if you do not send the card in person, it will be a problem,” he said.
