All roads lead to the Volta Regional Youth Resource Centre at Adaklu-Tsrefe, near Ho, on Monday for the 66th Independence Day celebration.

The theme for the big occasion is: “Our unity, our strength, our destiny”.

The Regional Minister, Dr Archibald Yao Letsa, who has been inspecting the venue every week, said all was set for the celebration.

He expressed satisfaction at work done and said, “Volta Region is ready”. 

The Youth Resource Centre has now become a tourist attraction as many members of the public have been visiting the place to catch a glimpse of the facility.

Guests

More than 5,000 people from various parts of the country are expected at the anniversary which will be graced by the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

The President of Guinea Bissau, Umaro Sissoco Embalo, who is the Chairman of the Economic Community West African States (ECOWAS), will be the special guest at the celebration which is expected to feature exciting cultural displays and a colourful parade, military exercise and displays such as rappelling, acrobatics and show of various skills and capabilities.

Dr Letsa said 80 members of the diplomatic corps would also take part in the celebration.

Parade

An anniversary walk in progress at Ho-Ahoe 

On parade will be 64 officers and 1,042 men from the various security agencies, contingents drawn from seven senior high schools (SHS) and basic schools from the Ho Municipality and the Adaklu District and voluntary organisations’. 

As of last Thursday, the road between the Adaklu District and Ho had been decorated with Ghana flags, hanging on utility poles; so were the principal streets of Ho and some communities at Adaklu.

Meanwhile, the streets of Ho are clean after a series of clean-up, while some workplaces and pubs have decorated their premises with the colours of the national flag.
