ID CARDS WORTH THOUSANDS OF CEDIS SET TO BE DESTROYED – NIA

The ID cards worth thousands of Ghana cedis that were supposed to be distributed during the previous administration are about to be destroyed.

The 2D-barcode cards created between 2008 and 2014, according to a statement by the National Identification Authority, have exceeded their 10-year shelf life and are ready for disposal.

“The cards have been audited by an NIA Board of Survey and passed for destruction as they have outlived their 10-year life span and cannot be used for any lawful purpose,” the statement said.

“Stored in “Ghana-Must-Go” bags, the cards were moved from storage to create space pending their destruction as the NIA Headquarters Building undergoes refurbishment;

“The cards were covered with a tarpaulin at the NIA Headquarters premises awaiting shredding but someone removed the cover, made a video and shared it on social media”.
