Ghana\u2019s High Commissioner to Canada, Dr. Sulley Gariba said Saturday that Ghanaians should highlight more success stories of the country as it marks 58 years of independence.<\/p>\n

He said though the country is facing some challenges, the positives are more than the negatives.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”paI6QCCSxItJBxYTOHNXorfUWB39syUv”]\u201cFifty eight years ago, nobody would have imagined a Ghanaian setting up a business in Canada,\u201d he said. \u201cBut today, there are many Ghanaian businesses here contributing to the economy of Canada.\u201d He urged Ghanaian businesses to invest back home and contribute to the growth of the economy.<\/p>\n

The anniversary was Gariba\u2019s first after assuming office two months as high commissioner. He was full of praises for Toronto based physician Dr. Isaac Odame who has led a team of specialists to train Ghanaian nurses in pediatric health care.<\/p>\n

He also congratulated businesswoman Magareth Adu who has won several awards in the Alberta province for her exceptional entrepreneurial roles in the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe must showcase the achievement s of distinguished Ghanaians such as these and celebrate them because they hold high the flag of Ghana and excel,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Gariba said one of his plans as high commissioner will be the establishment Diasporan office to easily help Ghanaians living in Canada who wish to invest home do so without problems. He said the best way for Ghana to develop is for everybody to play his part and expressed the High commission\u2019s willingness to help anybody in that regard.<\/p>\n

Retired diplomat and former Canadian High commissioner to Ghana John Schram congratulated Ghanaians for chalking yet another feat in history. He urged Ghanaians living in Canada to help in the development of the nation back home. Schram who studied at the University of Ghana said he was impressed at how rapidly the country has developed. \u201cThe last time I visited Ghana a couple of years ago, I was surprised at how quickly the country has changed,\u201d he said. \u201cThere were better roads and high rising buildings; I couldn\u2019t recognize a lot of places. I got lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

President of the Ghanaian Community in Ottawa, Robert Bismark Otoo said the association has started an initiative to actively include the youth in its activities. He said the association has appointed a youth coordinator to help develop programs that will promote the welfare of the Ghanaian youth in Ottawa. \u201cIt is the only way we can help them maintain the rich values of our great country,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is also a way of teaching them leadership roles since the youth are the immediate future leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were traditional adowa and borborbor performances from Ghanaian students at the University of Ottawa. Kathy Armstrong\u2019s Baobab Dance group made up of Canadian teenage boys and girls gave a rendition of some traditional Kpanlogo and Gome dance tunes to the admiration of many people.<\/p>\n

Gariba and Schram together with other dignitaries cut the anniversary cake.<\/p>\n
