Ghana has marked 64 years of independence Saturday, March 6, 2021, at the Jubilee House in Accra.
Over the years, the annual event has been celebrated with a march past and performances from students and the security services in their full regalia.
But this year, there was no school parade due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Addressing the nation from the Jubilee House, President Akufo-Addo urged all Ghanaians to work together in ensuring Ghana becomes self-sufficient.
According to him, the vision of a progressive and prosperous Ghana held by the country’s fore fathers must linger in the hearts of many as the nation symbolizes the hope of Africa.
“We were the first nation in colonial Africa to gain our independence from colonial power. The mood of citizens of this new state was one of unrestrained excitement and jubilation because of the prospects of what the future held for us," he added.
