Scaled-Down Independence Day Doesn’t Reduce Its Significance – John Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has assured Ghanaians that the scaled-down 68th Independence Day celebration does not lessen the importance and significance of the occasion.

Addressing the nation at the 68th Independence Day Celebration at the Jubilee House, he emphasised that Ghana’s independence remains the most critical event in the nation’s history, as it set the country on the path to nationhood.

“This scaled-down celebration does not diminish the importance and significance of this occasion in any way. Ghana’s independence is the single most important event in our history as it sets us on the path of nationhood.

“It is even more significant because it lifts the flame of independence in sub-Saharan Africa by inspiring other countries yoked to colonial exploitation to seek independence and self-determination,” Mahama stated.

The decision to scale down the celebration was made in light of the current economic challenges facing the nation.

Despite the reduced scale, the event continues to hold great symbolic value, reminding Ghanaians of the sacrifices made by their forefathers and the enduring spirit of independence that continues to inspire the nation.
