Ghana marks 66th Independence Day today

Ghana marks her 66th Independence anniversary celebration today, 6 March 2023.
This year’s Independence Day parade will be held at the Youth Resource Centre in Ho in the Volta Region.
The parade will feature selected school children and the security services.
Ghana became the first sub-Saharan African country to attain independence from the United Kingdom (UK).
The day, therefore, marks the declaration of independence from the UK on 6 March 1957 by the then Prime Minister, Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
This year’s celebration is on the theme: “Our Unity, Our Strength, Our Purpose”.
The Special Guest for today’s celebration will be the President of Guinea Bissau, who is also the Chairman of the Economic Community of West African State (ECOWAS) Umaro Sissoco Embalo.
More than 5000 people across the country, including members of the diplomatic corps, the clergy, traditional leaders and other dignitaries are expected to participate in the event.
In 2017, President Akufo-Addo decided the Independence Day celebration be held on rotational basis in every region.
