Ghana celebrates Independence Day

President Nana Akufo-Addo, his vice Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and other members of his government are in the Volta Region capital, Ho, to mark this year's Independence Day celebrations.

Independence Day is always a big day because it evokes the spirit of patriotism that filled thousands of Ghanaians to rise up against their colonial masters for freedom and self-governance.

The theme for the 66th Independence Day anniversary is "Our Unity, Our Strength, Our Purpose”.

Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah led a campaign by a huge number of citizens of the then-Gold Coast, to chase out their colonial masters who had been oppressing them and pillaging their natural resources.
