The National Identification Authority (NIA) is set to embark on the mass registration of Ghana Cards for individuals in detention across the country.
This initiative aims to ensure that such individuals are captured in the State's Database System, despite their confinement for various reasons.
Enoch Ben Sackey, the Western Regional Chief Servant of the NIA, stated in an interview with the Ghana News Agency in Takoradi that it was crucial for every Ghanaian to be included in the national database, which is why the Authority is conducting this registration of individuals confined in various facilities across the country.
He expressed satisfaction with the progress made by the Authority last year, including registering individuals aged 15 and above, conducting new registrations for individuals as young as six years, issuing cards to individuals who could not collect their cards during the mass registration, and replacing lost or damaged cards, among other activities.
