The National Identification Authority has apologised to the Presidency and other institutions for its inability to issue the Ghana Card to on Monday.
According to the NIA, it was unable to start the registration and issuance of the card as announced due to “technical difficulties.”
In a statement copied to citinewsroom.com, the NIA said it would outline the challenges it faced in due course. Following the emphatic declaration on the Citi Breakfast Show by the Chief Executive Officer of the Authority, Prof. Ken Attafuah last week that registration for the card will start today [Monday], the Authority failed to undertake the process.
He said the Presidency and key security institutions including the Armed Forces, Police and Immigration Service as well as the Prisons Service would have their staff being issued the cards from 28th May.
But staff at the presidency and personnel of the security institutions were left disappointed as the NIA officials failed to show up with their equipment to register them as promised.
Today’s failure makes it the fifth time the NIA’s has missed an announced deadline.
The NIA, however, assured the public that “every effort would be made to cover any lost time by deploying enough registration officials and equipment to undertake the exercise.”
