Ghana Celebrates 66th Independence. Ghana Celebrates 66th Independence
Ghana recently celebrated its 66th Independence Day amidst the on-going economic challenges that the country is grappling with. While the occasion was marked with pomp and pageantry, many have expressed their disappointment over the resources that go into the celebration.

Mrs Sophia Akuffo, the former Chief Justice of the Republic, made a compelling case that Ghana has been celebrating independence for many years, yet nothing positive has come out of it. She believes that the country should move beyond the symbolic celebrations and prioritize investments in infrastructure, healthcare, education, and other social amenities. Mrs. Akuffo is not alone in this view, as many Ghanaians have also expressed similar sentiments.
Another suggestion for making the Independence Day celebrations more meaningful is to rethink the structure of the event. Instead of organizing a massive gathering with students marching, seminars could be held in schools across the country. This will allow students to learn about the history of Ghana in a more interactive and engaging way. It will also ensure that the knowledge of Ghana’s history is not just limited to a few individuals who attend the national celebration but is disseminated widely.
Ghana’s independence is a significant milestone in the country’s history, and it is right to celebrate it. However, it is equally important to reflect on what the celebration means and how it can be made more meaningful. As the country continues to face economic challenges, there is a need to prioritize investments in social amenities that will improve the lives of Ghanaians. Also, a more engaging approach to teaching the history of the country can help to deepen the understanding of the citizens and foster a greater sense of national pride. It’s time to rethink how we celebrate independence in Ghana, and move towards a more impactful celebration that benefits the citizens
