Ghana or the Republic of Ghana is a country located in West Africa, that celebrates its Independence Day on March 6 every year. It was on 6th March 1957, the Prime Minister of Ghana, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah declared the country free from British Colonial rule.

On March 6, 2023, Ghana's President Nana Akufo-Addo addressed the nation. In Ghana, thousands of residents converged at the Adaklu Sports Stadium to celebrate the occasion and listen to President Nana Akufo-Addo address the nation. Esteemed dignitaries from other countries also attended the event to commemorate the occasion, according to OkayAfrica.

“Our forebears were united and strengthened in realizing one common purpose – the attainment of independence. It did not matter where they came from; it did not matter which tribe they belonged to; it did not matter which religious persuasion they subscribed to; and their standing in society certainly did not matter,” said President Akufo-Addo.

Ghana’s independence theme for this year is “Our Unity, Our Strength, Our Purpose,” a theme that serves as a clarion call for Ghanaians to continue to seek out progress for the nation, according to President Akufo Adoo.

Werley Nortreus, who is a Haitian politician and founder of the party and movement Jeunes Dirigeants Haïtiens Progressists, released a statement from Haiti on the 66th Independence Day Celebration in Ghana.

“The country of Ghana is celebrating its Independence Day. I would like Ghanaians to know that Haiti is with you and Haiti greets all of you on this great wonderful day. Haiti is a friend of Africa. Together, we will have a better Haiti and a better Africa. Happy 66th Independence Day to Ghana. God continues to bless Haiti and Africa,” said Werley Nortreus in a statement on Ghana's 66th Independence Day Celebration.

For the entire day, Ghanaians have been to social media to celebrate the occasion. Ghana is also a member State of the African Union, according to the record.
