The Communications Director of NPP UK Bristol Chapter, Michael Ampadu has highlighted the significance of establishing a comprehensive national identity system with the introduction of the Ghana card number at birth initiative.
In a statement, Mr Ampadu drew parallels with developed countries like the UK and the US where similar systems are already in place.
He emphasised the potential benefits of the initiative, such as improved governance, better provision of social services, and enhanced security through accurate identification.

He further noted that that tracking individuals from birth can lead to more efficient service delivery and targeted interventions, as seen in developed countries.
“Ensuring transparency, accountability, and data security will be key to gaining public trust and fostering wider acceptance of the national identification system.
“By leveraging the lessons learned from countries like the UK and the US, Ghana can harness the full potential of the Ghana card number at birth initiative to drive sustainable development, enhance governance, and improve citizens' lives,” portions of his statement read.
