Ghana gained its independence from the British on March 6, 1957, becoming the first African country south of the Sahara to do so. Subsequently Ghana became the torch bearer in Africa, leading other countries to the path of independence.

This year Ghana attains 65 years since that fateful day that the country was declared independent by its first President, Osagyefo Dr Kwame Nkrumah at the old polo grounds in Accra. 

To commemorate the month of March dubbed Ghana Month because it is considered the country's birth month, employees of the Graphic Communications Group Limited have decided to go Ghanaian or African in the choice of clothes to work. 

#Edmages yesterday, March 3, captured some workers going about their duties in their African prints and shares some of them with you.
