Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai MP and MCE Launch 69th Independence Anniversary Celebrations with Week-Long Activities

The Member of Parliament for Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai, Bright Asamoah Brefo, in collaboration with the Municipal Chief Executive, Sebastian Obeng, has officially launched the 69th Independence Anniversary celebrations in Bibiani under the theme “Building Prosperity, Restoring Hope.”

The grand launch marks a significant shift in how Independence Day is celebrated in the municipality. Addressing residents and stakeholders, Hon. Bright Asamoah Brefo disclosed that transforming the traditional March 6 celebration into a week-long festival was part of his campaign promise to the people of Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai.

According to the MP, in previous years, the celebration was observed for only a single day. However, the new format introduces a full week of engaging and impactful activities designed to unite the people, promote culture, and stimulate economic growth.

“This initiative is not about politics. It is about development and unity,” Hon. Brefo emphasized. “We want to create an atmosphere that will attract visitors from other parts of Ghana and even beyond. This will boost our local economy, promote tourism, and showcase the rich culture of Bibiani.”

He further noted that the week-long celebration would position Bibiani as a vibrant destination during the Independence festivities, while fostering a renewed sense of pride and patriotism among residents.

Hon. Obeng also used the occasion to advise parents to speak to their children about staying away from drugs and other harmful substances during the festivities.
