Video: Minister for Communications briefs Parliament on the Government’s SIM Cards Deactivation Project
The deactivation was a result of the delay in the release of Ghana Cards by the National Identification Authority, leading to the inability of many individuals to register their SIM cards.
The Minister of Communications and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful has briefed Parliament on the state of deactivated SIM cards in the country.
Ursula was scheduled to appear before the House to provide details on the SIM card re-registration exercise.
Following the May 31 deadline for the exercise, over 8 million subscribers, including the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, had their SIM cards deactivated. The deactivation was a result of the delay in the release of Ghana Cards by the National Identification Authority, leading to the inability of many individuals to register their SIM cards.
