The Mobile Money Agents Association of Ghana is pleading with the government to extend deadline for the registration of SIM cards.
MoMo agents have issued a statement saying that the mobile money business will be negatively affected if the re-registration of SIM card is closed on 31st July as stated earlier by the Minister of Communication and Digitalisation, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.
Ursula emphasized that failure to adhere to the recent directive will lead to the loss of numbers. This was after the deadline was pushed forward from March 31, 2022, to July 31, 2022.
MoMo agents have however said the deadline should be extended to January 2023.
As a business people in the industry, it will be very detrimental to out business and the industry, in general, should the government pursue the 31st July 2022. We appeal that with realism and having considered inconveniences and challenges, the government should extend the deadline to January 2023.
