The National Identification Authority (NIA) will from February 21, 2022 open up more registration centres for issuing Ghana Cards.
The Centres, are the Accra Sports Stadium and El-Wak Sports Stadium, in the Greater Accra Region, Kumasi Sports Stadium, in the Ashanti Region and the Ghana National Fire Service Regional Office in Cape Coast in the Central Region, as well as the Tamale Sports Stadium in the Northern Region.
The exercise which will run for six weeks is expected to end on Thursday March, 31, 2022.
In a statement signed by the Acting Head of Corporate Affairs of the NIA, Abudu Abdul-Ganiyu, the NIA indicated that apart from the El-wak Sports Stadium, which will operate as a Premium Center, registration at all the other locations is free.
The statement explained that the exercise has become necessary as a result of the growing numbers of Ghanaians thronging NIA’s offices nationwide to register for the Ghana Card, particularly, as the deadline for Sim-Card re-registration approaches.
The mass registration points will operate alongside NIA’s 276 District and 16 Regional offices nationwide. The statement reminds persons who have already registered, but have not received their cards to contact their respective district offices to be issued with their cards and not attempt to register again as such an act constitutes an offence punishable by law.
