Today, Thursday, March 6, Ghana is commemorating its 68th Independence Day, which marks over 70 years since the nation was emancipated from British colonial control.
The theme for this year, “Reflect, Review, Reset,” highlights the significance of reflecting on the country’s past, evaluating its present situation, and making plans for a better future.
Due to financial limitations, the festivities will be less extravagant than in past years.
Instead of the customary spectacular celebration at Black Star Square, the major event will be held at the government’s seat, Jubilee House. A Military Guard of Honor, schoolchildren’s cultural performances, and a senior high school student’s poetry reading will all be included in the scaled-down celebration.
President Mahama will speak to the country, emphasizing the importance of the day and the necessity of solidarity, fortitude, and patriotism.
A more sensible approach to national spending is reflected in the government’s assurance that the lesser celebration does not lessen the significance of Independence Day.
As Ghanaians gather to celebrate this momentous day, they are reminded of the sacrifices made by their ancestors, especially Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, who on March 6, 1957, proclaimed the nation “free forever.” The nation is still motivated by the spirit of independence, which was formed in the past, as it faces the difficulties of the present and hopes for a happy future.
