President John Dramani Mahama has lit the perpetual flame at the Jubilee House as part of Ghana's 68th Independence Day celebrations.

The symbolic act, which represents the country's enduring freedom, unity, and commitment to national development, was performed during the modest ceremony held at the seat of government.

The lighting of the perpetual flame is a key tradition in Ghana's Independence Day celebrations, serving as a reminder of the sacrifices made by the nation's forebears in the struggle against colonial rule.

It also signifies the resilience and determination of Ghanaians to uphold the principles of democracy, peace, and progress.
