The Genesis of this SIM Card Registration

The re-registration of SIM cards was planned to run from October 1, 2021 to July 31, 2022. Ursula Owusu Ekuful, the Minister of Communication of Ghana, has stated that any SIM that is not registered within this time frame will be permanently blocked.

The exercise which was supposed to take off in June last year was delayed due to the Population and Housing Census. This was in line with the government’s effort to make the Ghana Card a one-stop identification document in the country.
