AKATSI NORTH DISTRICT COMMEMORATES 68TH INDEPENDENCE DAY

On March 06, 2025, the Akatsi North District in the Volta Region has modestly commemorated Ghana’s 68th Independence Anniversary celebration to reflect the directive from the Presidency.

The Ave Senior High School (AVESCO) cadet corp was the only contingent at this year’s independence parade, held at the forecourt of the District Assembly.

It was on theme: “Reflect, Review and Reset.”
Madam Rubby Sitsope Besagah, the District Co-Coordinating Director, in her address, called on workers in all sectors of the economy to contribute to nation-building as envisioned by the country’s forbearers.

She urged residents to reflect on the past, review the present and reset the future to transform the District and country as a whole.

In a speech delivered on behalf of the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Akatsi North Constituency, Dr Richard Awudza, the Constituency Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), noted that it was the first time in the history of Ghana that Independence Day was celebrated moderately to cut cost.

He reiterated President John Dramani Mahama’s quest to reset the country and turn its fortunes around to the benefit of all Ghanaians.

He reaffirmed the words of the President to re-construct the Ho-Denu stretch of road to provide relief to commuters.

The occasion was chaired by the Paramount Chief of the Ave Dakpa Traditional Area, Torgbui Nyamekor Glakpe V.

Other dignitaries at the event included Mama Megbeakor, Queen Mother of Dzita from Ave Dakpa, District Security Heads, Assembly Members, Political Party representatives, Heads of Departments and some members of the public.
