SIM card registration will not be extended. Ursula Owusu

By
Communication minister, Ursula Owusu Ekuful


The minister for communications and digitalization, Ursula Owusu, has stated that there will be no further extension of the deadline for sim card registration. She said this during a National Communications Authority forum in Kumasi.

According to her, the sim card registration is very crucial because it will help lessen the prevalence of cyber crimes in the country. The exercise will make it possible to create a subscriber database with integrity to keep the customers safe from scams and fraud. She went on to urge all who have not yet linked their Ghana cards to the SIM cards to do so before the deadline.



The SIM card registration began in October 2021 and was supposed to end in March 2022 but was extended to July 2022 due to the fact that a number of Ghanaians were not able to register their sim cards. About 12 million citizens have, however, been able to register their SIMs, representing a little over one third of the population of Ghana.


Some sections of the population are also of the view that the telecommunication companies will not block their sim cards after the


deadline because they are owed by some of their customers who are not willing to pay. Others are also praying for the sim card to be blocked so the money they owe them will be nullified.

  Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been on the rise over the past decade, and there is no doubt that it will continue to impact the workforce in the future. The question of whether AI will take jobs away from millions of people is a complex and controversial topic that has been debated by experts in the field for years. While AI has the potential to disrupt certain industries and eliminate certain jobs, it also has the potential to create new industries and jobs that never existed before. The Impact of AI on the Labor Market The impact of AI on the labor market is a multifaceted issue that cannot be generalized. The impact of AI will depend on the industry, the level of automation, the education and skill levels of the workforce, and many other factors. Some jobs that are currently being done by humans may become automated, and this will undoubtedly result in job displacement. However, not all jobs can be automated, and some may actually benefit from the integration of AI. Accordin...
