This is to commemorate Ghana’s Independence Day anniversary, which falls on Saturday, 6 March.
A statement by the Ministry of Interior, signed by
the Minister-designate, Ambrose Dery noted that:
“In view of the fact that 6 March, 2021 falls
on Saturday, His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Ghana has by
Executive Instrument (EI), in accordance with Section 2 of the Public Holidays
and Commemorative Days Act, 2001 (601), declared Monday, 8 March, 2021 as a
Public Holiday and should be observed as such throughout the country.”
Meanwhile,
there will be no parades this Independence Day.
This follows the suspension of parade as part of
activities marking this year’s anniversary celebration by President Akufo-Addo.
The suspension of parades is to avoid further spread
of the deadly COVID-19.
