This year's independence anniversary is themed, "Ghana Beyond Aid". Making comparisons with other countries like Malaysia, President Akufo-Addo said that Ghana, with its plenty resources, can do what other advanced countries with resources can do. He mentioned that "a Ghana beyond aid, is a prosperous Ghana".
Special guest at the event was President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria, who promised to help Ghana fight corruption.
Ghana is the first black African country to gain independence on March 6, 1957 under the leadership of Dr. Kwame Nkrumah who served as Prime Minister and the country's first president.
