September 30 deadline for SIM card re-registration is unrealistic – Maximus Ametorgoh
Mr Ametorgoh explained that the September 30 deadline will not be possible owing to challenges people have in getting the Ghana Card. He suggested things that could be done to help the situation.
The September 30 deadline for the SIM card re-registration has been deemed unrealistic by the Chief Executive Officer of Popout Digital Solutions, Maximus Ametorgoh.
According to him, a chunk of the problem is from the fact that many registrants are finding it difficult to access their Ghana cards.
He added that until the challenges with access to Ghana cards are resolved, the extension will have little impact.
“Looking at the limitations that NIA has, I do not think this new deadline is enough. The problem is that most people do not have the Ghana card to register, ” he noted.
“How can we make sure such people get the card in time to register? How do we ensure that registration centres are set up at the NIA centres so people can immediately re-register their SIMs after getting their cards? These are issues we should address. And the September 30 new deadline will be too short to add all these challenges.”
