The Ministry for the Interior has reminded the general public that Friday, March 6, 2026, marks In
In a notice posted on its official Facebook page on Monday, March 2, the Ministry stated that the day should be recognised and observed as such across all regions, in accordance with the national law governing public holidays.
“The general public is hereby informed that Friday, March 6, 2026, marks Independence Day, which is a Statutory Public Holiday and should be observed as such throughout the country,” the statement said.
The notice was signed by the Minister for the Interior, Muntaka Mohammed-Mubarak (MP).
Independence Day commemorates Ghana’s historic attainment of self-rule from British colonial administration on March 6, 1957.
The occasion marks a key milestone in the nation’s history as the first sub-Saharan African country to gain independence from colonial rule.
The day is traditionally observed with national parades, ceremonial events and reflections on Ghana’s democratic journey and socio-economic progress.
Citizens, institutions and businesses are therefore expected to observe the holiday in line with established regulations governing statutory public holidays in the country.
