Delivering an address, he cautioned all and sundry to take precautions amid the celebrations, adding the country needs its citizens alive to progress.
“For those who will be travelling please drive safely. For those who will be going to the beaches, especially with kids, please keep extra precaution.
“Your country Ghana needs you alive and well to participate in its building, this country is all we have and you are all this county has and all it needs to succeed,” he said.
He also urged the strict adherence to the covid-19 safety protocols, especially as the country has seen a spike in cases in recent times.
“Let us all endeavour to observe the Covid-19 protocols of social distancing, mask-wearing and sanitising our hands regularly. Even if you are vaccinated, it is important to adhere to the protocols.
