The officials have shared that the celebration programme had several patriotic and cultural displays. The officials saw the prayers from traditional, Muslim, and Christian leaders, musical performances, poetry recitals, and cultural presentations by school children

The event also featured the inspection of the parade. Afterwards, the lighting of the perpetual flame before the President of Ghana was also done. 

In addition to Dr Terrance Drew and his delegation attending the independence day celebration, another prominent honor was bestowed on St Kitts and Nevis. The flag of St Kitts and Nevis was flying at the Jubilee House during the Independence celebrations. 

This gesture is being considered deeply symbolic as the Prime Minister was also present during the event. 

Dr Terrance Drew said that this is a very meaningful day for the two nations and serves as  a reminder of the enduring connection between the Caribbean and Africa.
