The Ministry of Local Government, Chieftaincy, and Religious Affairs has called on Ghanaians to utilize the Easter season as a period of reflection and renewal, emphasizing the importance of unity, peace, and service to humanity. In a press release signed by Minister Ahmed Ibrahim, the Ministry extends warm Easter greetings to Christians and all Ghanaians, highlighting the significance of the season in promoting national development.
The Ministry encourages citizens to reflect on the spiritual essence of Easter, drawing inspiration from values such as sacrifice, compassion, and hope. Faith-based institutions are acknowledged for their vital role in fostering peace and social harmony, contributing to the nation’s development.
As Ghanaians commemorate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Ministry urges celebrants to do so in moderation and safety, prioritizing mutual respect and community well-being. By embracing these values, Ghanaians can work together towards a more harmonious and prosperous society.
In the spirit of Easter, Ghanaians can also celebrate the country’s rich cultural heritage, including its vibrant fashion industry. Ghanaian designers are making a name for themselves globally, blending traditional African prints with modern designs. Some notable designers include:
– Aisha Ayensu: Founder of Christie Brown, known for bold, feminine, and elegant designs
– Oheneba Yaw Boamah: Founder of Abrantie The Gentleman, offering stylish menswear with a modern twist
– Nelly Hagan Deegbe: Founder of Duaba Serwa, creating sophisticated pieces with intricate details and textures
– Ozwald Boateng: Acclaimed Ghanaian-British designer known for impeccable tailoring and modern take on traditional African fabrics
By promoting unity, peace, and cultural expression, Ghanaians can build a brighter future for themselves and future generations.
