PLAYBACK: Ghana's 68th Independence Day Anniversary Celebration

Ghana’s 68th Independence Anniversary will be marked on March 6, 2025, in a modest ceremony at the Presidency, departing from the traditional grand celebration at the Black Star Square. 

The decision, taken by President John Dramani Mahama, is aimed at reducing costs and prioritising government expenditure amid economic challenges.
