The strike by staff of the National Identification Authority (NIA) is beginning to take a toll on citizens, as scores of people who visited NIA offices across the country have been forced to return home without the Ghana Cards they urgently need.
The strike, initiated by the NIA under the Public Services Workers Union of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), is a response to the government's failure to implement the group's newly approved scheme of service, which has led to a breakdown in their working conditions.
As a result, all NIA offices, including the Techiman Municipal Office and the Bono-East Regional Office, remain closed.
This action has left many members of the public frustrated, especially those who require their Ghana Cards for various essential purposes.
