The Minister of Communications and Digitalisation Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has said the Ministry has been urging the National Identification Authority (NIA) to assist people to acquire their Ghana Card.

She said the Ministry has also been made aware of the difficulties facing subscribers in accessing their funds on their mobile money wallets following the deactivation of unregistered SIM crads.

Speaking in Parliament while providing an update on the status of the SIM re-registration exercise on Thursday, June 8 Madam Owusu-Ekuful said “We continue to encourage the National Identification Authority (NIA) to assist people to acquire their Ghana Card.

“We have also been made aware of the difficulties facing subscribers in accessing their funds on their mobile money wallets.

“These subscribers will not be able to transact money mobile-related activities, however, we are working with the Bank of Ghana to ensure that these subscribers are able to retrieve funds upon the presentation of a valid ID and going through the required processes.”
