Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, Minister of Communications and Digitization, announced that the SIM card re-registration deadline has been extended to September 30, 2022. In a speech to the media on Sunday, government officials said they had “reluctantly” extended the training, which was scheduled to end on July 31, 2022. Minister said the extension was necessary due to issues such as the delay in launching the self-serving registration app and the delay in obtaining the Ghana card, which is a required document for registration.
“After consulting with the industry and considering the above issues, I decided very reluctantly to allow the final conditional extension.” The program will be extended until September 30th and will end on the anniversary of the start. This will confirm the one-year SIM registration at the end of this month, and SIM cards that are not fully registered by the end of August will be voiced. And full reception of certain services, including data services, will be blocked, and it will be more costly to use an unregistered SIM card. The full range of disciplinary measures will be available at another press conference in September. It will be announced. ” SIM card registration began on October 31, 2021, and is scheduled to end on March 31, 2022, but by March 17, it had exceeded 14. One million SIM cards were linked to the Ghana card, more than 10 million bio captures were carried out, and 99,445 new SIMs were registered.
The deadline for completion was clear, as we missed the registration of the remaining active SIM cards to the SIM card.
As a result, the ministry extended the deadline to 31 July 2022. However, as of Saturday, July 30, thousands failed to register their Ghana or SIM cards, according to reports from multiple media outlets, including GeekyMalik, Naijamuzic, Adomonline, etc. This has repeatedly called on the government and ministry to extend the deadline until 31 July.
