Nkawkaw | March 2025
Residents of the Kwahu West Municipality joined the rest of the country on Thursday, 6th March 2025, to commemorate Ghana’s 68th Independence Day Anniversary at the municipal capital. The celebration was held under the national theme, “Reflect, Review, Reset,” which calls on Ghanaians to assess the nation’s progress and recommit to national development.
The event brought together security agencies, education officials, traditional authorities, Assembly staff, teachers, students, and members of the general public, reflecting broad community participation in the national celebration.
In an address delivered at the ceremony, the Acting Municipal Chief Executive, Mr. Peter Kwabla Tetteh, described the anniversary as an opportunity for sober reflection and renewed commitment to Ghana’s democratic and socio-economic development. He urged residents to reflect on the country’s achievements, review areas where progress has been slow, and reset attitudes towards hard work, discipline, and civic responsibility.
Mr. Tetteh emphasized the importance of education, particularly Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), as key drivers of youth empowerment, job creation, and sustainable development. He also called on the youth to uphold the values of unity, peace, and patriotism, noting that national development requires collective effort.
The presence of security agencies, education managers, and departmental heads underscored the Municipality’s commitment to maintaining peace, promoting quality education, and supporting government policies aimed at national transformation.
The celebration ended on a positive note, with participants reaffirming their resolve to contribute to the development of the Kwahu West Municipality and Ghana as a whole.
