Thursday, March 6, 2025, is exactly 68 years since Ghana gained independence from its British colonial masters.
On Wednesday, March 6, 1957, Ghana, led by its first President, Osagyefo Dr.
Kwame Nkrumah, made history by becoming the first sub-Saharan African nation to gain independence from colonial rule, marking the dawn of a new era of freedom for the sub-region and the African continent as a whole.
A rare video of the independence celebration shared by Ghana Facts and History showed the arrival of the representative of the then British monarch, the late Queen Elizabeth II, at the Accra University (now University of Ghana), where some of the celebrations were held.
