It is against this background that Mr Ganiyu cautioned all Ghanaians to take good care of the cards issued to them by the NIA.
He indicated that the servers of the NIA are resilient and can handle all the synchronisation exercises ongoing with regard to the Social Security and National Trust (SSNIT) and the SIM card registration exercise directed by the National Communications Authority (NCA) among others in the country
Mr Ganiyu said all these fees have been approved by parliament.
