The much expected National Identification exercise this month faces a major setback, reports the Business Week newspaper.The paper quotes a source at the National Identification Authority (NIA) as blaming certain outstanding issues the delay in announcing a take-off date.The source however declined to mention the issues delaying the exercise.However, it said the exercise would involve mass and continuous registration. The former focuses on nationwide registration within a given period. The latter will cover those who, for acceptable reasons, were not able to register during the mass registration exercise and, from time-to-time, those who turn six years.The source, according to the newspaper, said the eligible includes Ghanaian citizens resident in the country and non-residents, legally resident non-Ghanaians, every permanently resident non-Ghanaian and every six-year-old and above.The NIA will be storing personal data on citizens and non-citizens, house numbers, street names, community and family members among others.Both text and biometric data would be collected during the exercise.Persons 15 years and above would be given a national identity card at the end of the exercise.Source: Business Week
