NIA issues 14,888 cards to Adenta residents

The National Identification Authority (NIA) has so far been able to register 14,888 people and issued them with instant National Identification Card at Adentan.
This was attained in the first week of the exercise which lasted for six days. The registration is done from Monday to Saturday.
The second week of the exercise began yesterday and the Authority is optimistic that it can double or triple the figure attained in the first week.

The Adentan Police Station registration centre has, so far, been able to register 649 Ghanaians.

Out of the number registered, 500 have received their cards while the already registered 149 people are yet to be issued their cards due to challenges with the system.

For the weekend, the turn out was encouraging as the centre registered about 150 last Saturday.

On a normal day, the centre registers about 100 people if there are no challenges with the system.

Registrants without the Digital Addressing Code have been unable to register despite the lawsuit filed against NIA by Francis Kojo Kwarteng Arthur, a private legal practitioner.

However, those without the Digital Address are permitted to use a neighbour’s Digital Property Addressing Code.
