The re-registration of SIM cards with the Ghana Card commenced in October 2021 and expected to continue to the end of March 2022.

Addressing journalist through a virtual media briefing on Thursday, January 6, 2022, Abubakar Mohammed, General Manager, Regional Sales & Distribution Southern Ghana for MTN Ghana said, “Going forward, to decongest we will have almost 200 community activations happening across the country and at the same time we will have the mobile teams that will also be going to the institutions to support them with the reregistration exercise.”
