An unofficial rebuild of a Government of Ghana website

How you know this is unofficial

This is a demonstration built on afrigov. It is not run by the National Identification Authority. The real website is nia.gov.gh.

Official websites use .gov.gh. This one does not, and it carries no government seal. Nothing you type here is sent to the authority.
