President Akufo Addo has proposed the rotation of venues for national events such as the Independence Day.
Nana Akufo Addo said the tradition of hosting the country’s Independence Day in Accra must change.

“Let me commend the Trades Union Congress (TUC) for holding this national event outside Accra. I believe more national events like independence days celebration should follow the TUC’s lead and hold out the country’s capital, who knows? Next year why not Tamale for independence day,” he said.
Thirty Organized Labour Groups gathered at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi to participate in the 2018 National May Day Celebration.
The highlight of the event was the launch of the Nation Builders Corps by the President to employ some 100,000 graduates.
President Nana Akufo-Addo also announced the setting up a committee that will be in charge of overseeing the actualization of the Ghana Beyond Aid agenda.
The Senior Minister, Yaw Osafo Maafo, will be chairing the Committee.
The Committee will draw a charter which outlines the steps the country is to take in making Ghana self-reliant.
“The Charter will then be subjected to scrutiny and debate by Parliament and adopted as a follow up to the Coordinated Programme of Economic and Social Development Policies. The nation will then know in detail how we intend to move Ghana to a situation Beyond Aid,” President Akufo-Addo stated.
