Ghana celebrates 68th Independence Day
Ghana marked its 68th Independence Day on March 6, 2025. The day was commemorated with a small event at the presidency, unlike previous years where grand parades were held for the celebration.
The government, before the event, explained that it was aimed at cutting costs and saving the country huge sums that would have been wasted on the event, resulting in a smaller commemoration than before.
