Ghana@50: Finland

Finland Is Ready For The Ghana´S 50th Independence Anniversary Celebration

Ghana was the first African colony, south of the Sahara to gain its independence. It is 50 years since this happened. Ghana’s independence paved the way for the independence of other African countries. And this confirms to the words of Ghana’s first President Osagyefo Dr. Kwame Nkrumah that, Ghana’s independence is meaningless unless it was linked to the total liberation of Africa. We in Finland are going to celebrate this with different activities starting from February 18th. This is the tentative program:
