Ghana Celebrates 68th Independence Day with Modest Observations

Ghana will celebrate its 68th Independence Day on March 6, 2025, with modest events focused on cost-cutting. The celebrations will be headlined by a parade at the Presidency, which includes a Military Guard of Honour and performances by school children, in line with the theme “Reflect, Review, Reseat.”

On March 6, 2025, Ghanaians will commemorate the 68th anniversary of their nation’s independence from colonial rule. Ghana holds the distinction of being the first sub-Saharan African country to achieve independence in 1957 under the leadership of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, its first Prime Minister and later President. This year’s celebrations will feature ‘modest’ activities intended to cut costs, in contrast to more grandiose affairs of previous years.

In summary, while this year marks a significant milestone in Ghana’s history, the celebrations will reflect a focus on cost-efficiency. The government’s decision to implement modest commemorations aims to maintain the spirit of nationalism and unity while reducing expenditures. The legacy of independence continues to resonate deeply within Ghanaian society, encouraging feelings of patriotism and resilience.
