Minister-designate for Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations has said Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) will cover the cost of the SIM re-registration exercise to be done by President Mahama's administration.
The nominee disclosed to the Appointments Committee during his vetting on Thursday, January 30, 2025, that a new re-registration exercise will be conducted when given the nod.
He says the exercise that will be done by the Mahama administration will be a 'proper' SIM registration where registrants would not have to go through stress in doing so as they experienced previously.
Answering questions during his vetting by the Appointments Committee of Parliament on Thursday, January 30, the Ningo Prampram lawmaker said, "We will do a proper SIM re-registration again… but this time no one will go through the stress." "The cost will be borne by the Mobile Network Operators (MNO)," he added.
