Ghana’s 60th independence anniversary celebration will be about national consciousness and Ghanaian values, Jefferson Sackey, a member of the 30-member planning committee, has said.
According to him, the anniversary is a time for Ghanaians to unleash their creative energies and also show patriotism.
The president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Thursday January 26 launched the 60th anniversary at the seat of government. He also announced the panning committee to see to the preparations ahead of the celebrations.
At the launch, the president said: “The celebration of our 60th anniversary should be modest, it should take into account our financial circumstances, but it also should be elegant and appropriate; we should live in a good feeling about ourselves.”
Commenting on the entire anniversary on his Facebook page on Friday January 27, Mr Sackey said: “How would you like Ghana’s 60th anniversary marked? For me, it is about national consciousness. About our values, integrity, patriotism and how to unleash our creative energies, i.e. time to reflect and realign. No wastage, please.”
