The Minister of Communication and Digitalization, Mrs Ursula Owusu Ekuful will brief Parliament on Thursday, June 8, 2023 on the just-ended SIM Re-registration exercise.
Presenting the Business Statement for the week, Majority Leader Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said due to the heightened agitation by affected subscribers, it has become expedient for the Minister to bring the House up to speed on the entire exercise.
All active and unregistered SIM cards were deactivated and removed on May 31, 2023 due to a directive from the National Communications Authority (NCA).
The Minister of Communications, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, announced the commencement of the re-registration of all mobile SIM cards on October 1, 2021.
The exercise was expected to last for six months but was extended several times for tangible challenges faced by SIM card users.
Government on February 14, 2023, disclosed that a total of twenty-five million, one hundred and fifty thousand, five hundred and twenty-two SIM cards had been successfully registered as of February 9, 2023, and also encouraged the public to comply with the registration timelines.
