President Akufo-Addo has announced government’s decision to move Ghana’s 62nd Independence Day celebration to the Northern Regional, Tamale.
He made this known at the 2019 State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Parliament on Thursday, stating that this will be the first time in the country’s history that the anniversary will be held outside Accra.
“In order to reinforce and support the process of reconciliation and the restoration of peace in Dagbon, I have decided that this year, the 62nd Independence Day celebration will be held in Tamale on 6th March. This will be the first time in our nation’s history that the celebration is being held outside of our national capital, Accra. I am very much looking forward to it,” he said.
