"Every year, school children are included in the independence parade not for the purposes of entertainment but rather as a presentation of our future. These children are the future of Ghana," the president said at Ghana's 59th independence parade at the Black Star Square.
He added: "It is our responsibility to safeguard our independence so that the nation we leave for our children to inherit will also be free, peaceful and democratic."
