NIA raises concern about 47,000 uncollected Ghanacards in Western Region

The Western Regional Officer of the National Identification Authority (NIA), Mr Enoch Benjamin Sackey, has raised concerns over the growing number of uncollected Ghanacards in the region, revealing that over 47,000 printed cards remain at various NIA offices awaiting collection by their rightful owners.
Speaking after a meeting with the Western Regional Minister, Joseph Nelson, Mr. Sackey emphasized that the Authority’s commitment to enhancing identification services across the region is thwarted by some of these actions on the part of the citizenry.
He announced plans to clear the backlog of unissued cards and streamline the card distribution process.
“As of now, we have received some 2,700 blank cards and are set to print over 15,000 pending cards within the next three weeks,” Mr. Sackey said.
“These will be made available for collection at both the regional and district offices.”
He encouraged residents who have registered but not yet collected their cards to visit their respective offices promptly, stressing that access to the Ghanacard is becoming increasingly essential for accessing key public services.
The NIA continues to expand its operations and improve service delivery as part of its broader mandate to provide every Ghanaian with a unique national identification number
