“The new SIM registration initiative will be rolled out in early 2026. This time, it will be more structured, transparent, and inclusive to ensure no Ghanaian is unfairly disconnected or left out of the digital ecosystem,” he stated during a media engagement.

Special provisions may also be made for vulnerable groups and rural communities to prevent digital exclusion.
