New Director General of the National Identification Authority (NIA) Yayra Koku, has been heavily mocked by Ghanaians for exposing his ignorance on the value and functions of the Ghana Card.

In a Facebook post Thursday, Yayra Koku boldly announced his plans to link the Ghana Card to mobile money and bank accounts.

He also added his plans to turn the Ghana Card into drivers license, as well as a proposal for easy passport application with the Ghana Card.

However, shortly after making the post, Yayra Koku's post attracted comments from a number of Ghanaians, who exposed what they called his ignorance of what the Ghana Card already does.
