The National Identification Authority (NIA) is set to embark on a mop-up mass registration exercise in the various regions across the country with the exception of the Eastern Region.

This is because the Eastern Region will continue with its Ghana Card registration from June 18 to June 27 after the exercise got suspended on March 21 following an interlocutory injunction by the High Court.

In a press release signed by the Head of Corporate Affairs, ACI Francis Palmdeti said the NIA is expected to register about 16.7 million Ghanaians by the end of the mop-up registration exercise.

“It is expected that a total of 16.7 million Ghanaians would have been registered and issued with Ghana cards when the mop-up exercise is completed,” he said.
