President John Dramani Mahama led Ghana’s 68th Independence Day celebration with a ceremonial inspection of the parade at the Jubilee House.
The event, which commemorates the country’s liberation from colonial rule, was marked with a modest but symbolic display of national pride.
The President’s inspection of the parade, made up of security personnel and school cadets, was a key highlight of the occasion.
The disciplined march-past and a special formation of the number ‘68’ paid tribute to the country’s journey since gaining independence on March 6, 1957.
The parade showcased Ghana’s commitment to unity, resilience, and national development..
Dignitaries, including Vice President Prof. Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, former presidents, traditional rulers, and members of the diplomatic corps, were present to witness the historic moment.
The scaled-down celebration, held at the seat of government instead of Black Star Square, aligns with the administration’s decision to cut costs while maintaining the significance of the national event.
As Ghana marks 68 years of independence, the ceremony reinforced the country’s enduring spirit and collective aspirations for a brighter future.
