Because of various elements including the way that over 7.5 million residents and occupants were at this point to acquire Ghana Cards to empower them register their SIM cards, it was clear the cutoff time for consummation of the enrollment of the leftover dynamic SIM cards couldn't be met.
Thus, the service stretched out the cutoff time to July 31, 2022. Anyway reports from numerous news sources including GhanaWeb showed that as of Saturday, July 30, thousands have either not enrolled their Ghana Card or SIM cards.
