The Minister for Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has urged Ghanaians to fully participate in the upcoming SIM card re-registration exercise.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV’s Face to Face , Mr George said it is important for all users of telecom services to take part in the process once it is rolled out.
“It’s advisable for everybody to ensure that when we roll out the registration process, you take part in it. Bearing in mind that you took part in a system that traumatised people—people queued for days—but now you have a system that will allow you to do this in the comfort of your home. The process will be mandatory for the use of telecom services in the country,” he stated.
The Minister also announced that the government expects to roll out the re-registration exercise in the third quarter of this year.
“I’m confident that in the third quarter of this year—anytime between July, August, and September—we will definitely be in a good position to roll out,” he said.
