The Minister of Communication and Digitisation, Mrs. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful says Ghanaians who fail to re-register their SIM cards will be blocked by the end of December 2021.
According to her, "It has become imperative that we clamp down on cybercriminals hiding behind the anonymity of digital systems to commit antisocial acts, and the Sim re-registration exercise is a key part of that campaign."
"All SIM cards and SIM-enabled devices would be re-registered from June and end in December. All unregistered sims will be blocked.

"Plans are far advanced to make the National Identification card (Ghana Card) the only national identity card for all identification and business purposes," she said in a Facebook post.
The Minister noted that her Ministry "is also working to improve access to connectivity across the country with rural telephony and digital inclusion projects which will see the construction of 2016 solar-powered cell sites in unserved and underserved rural communities."
