Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the vice president, has stated that in the effort to advance the nation, he prefers the Ghana card to road interchanges.
The Ghana Card, a national identity card, is said to be more advantageous than the multiple interchanges built all throughout the nation, according to the Chairman of the Economic Management Team.
"Thanks to the national identification system we developed, 16 million Ghanaians now have unique IDs, which is a significant improvement. The significance of the Ghana Card isn't always understood by a lot of individuals.
He remarked on Thursday that if given the choice between a Ghana Card and 1,000 interchanges, he would chose the latter since it has a greater impact. In praising the Ghana Card's advantages, Dr. Bawumia claimed that the single measure has made the process of digitization simpler and has helped the government fight corruption.

On Friday, September 15, 2017, the Akufo-Addo administration resumed Ghana Card registration.
The card was intended to act as a distinctive identification for foreign nationals who were living continuously in Ghana as well as for Ghanaians who were both residents and non-residents.
Since its adoption, a lot of people have stated that it would eventually be a huge asset for the planning and development of this country on a national level.
Next thing you know, the card is connected to some important social and economic areas of the nation. At the moment, the card functions as both an SSNIT card and an electronic passport.
The Ghana Card will be the sole authorised card for all bank transactions in the nation starting in July, according to a separate announcement from the Bank of Ghana.
Additionally, residents are being urged by the National Communication Authority (NCA) to re-register their SIM cards with their Ghana Cards. In addition, for the general election in 2024, the Electoral Commission (EC) has asked for the creation of a new voter registration list using the Ghana Card.
