President Akufo-Addo has urged citizens to honour the ideals of Ghana's forebears and work towards the nation's rightful place.

Upholding the rule of law, individual liberties, human rights, and democratic accountability is crucial to realizing the vision for a free and independent nation.

On Founders' Day, Friday, August 4, President Akufo-Addo underscored the importance of appreciating the essence of the day and the collective efforts that led to Ghana's liberation from colonialism.

He acknowledged the sacrifices made by those who resisted oppressive legislation and the formation of the United Gold Coast Convention (UGCC) – the first political party advocating for independence.

Reflecting on historical events, President Akufo-Addo emphasized the significance of honoring patriots who safeguarded land ownership and championed Ghana's path to independence.

He paid tribute to those who paved the way for Ghana's democratic and stable identity in Africa.
