Ghana@62: Soldiers treat patrons to fire drills at Tamale

Men of the Armed Forces have treated patrons of the 62nd Independence Day Celebration in Tamale to interesting military drills and training.

Some of the selected soldiers embarked on display acrobatics and fire training to the admiration of President Akufo-Addo and scores of Ghanaians who attended the program.

The display came after the routine guard of honour and salute was taken by the President.

Special Guest of Honour for today’s event is President of Niger Mahamadou Issoufou.

This is first time the national event will take place outside Accra, the national capital and making Tamale, the first regional capital aside Accra to host it to mark the country’s independence from British rule on March 6,1957.

The theme for this year’s independence anniversary celebration is ” Celebrating Peace and Unity”.

President Akufo-Addo is yet to address the gathering.
