Staff were grouped to represent eight regions, namely Greater Accra, Volta, Bono, Ashanti, Eastern, Upper East, Northern, and Western Regions, each delivering a unique and memorable cultural display.

Representing the Greater Accra Region, the Corporate Affairs Division, Cyber Security Division, and Information Technology Division brought the Ga and Ga-Adangbe heritage to life. Through storytelling, music, and performance, they took participants on a historical journey, highlighting the origins and traditions of the Ga people.

The Volta Region was elegantly represented by the Regulatory Administration and Finance Divisions and the Ho Zonal Office, delivering a captivating performance of the traditional Bɔbɔbɔ dance, showcasing the region’s vibrant culture and rhythmic expression.

For the Bono Region, staff from the Sunyani Zonal Office, Engineering Division, and the Board Secretariat made a grand entrance in a palanquin, adorned in beautiful traditional attire. Their presentation blended storytelling and symbolism, reflecting the richness of the Bono culture.

The King, Queen, and their entourage beautifully illustrated the traditions and cultural identity of the region.

The Northern Region’s presentation was equally striking, led by a Naaba, as the Consumer Division, the Tamale Zonal Office and the Procurement Division showcased horses, traditional regalia, and the globally recognised ‘Kuruyakuruya’ performance, reflecting the strength and heritage of Northern Ghana.

Representing the Western Region, staff from the Research, Innovation, Policy and Strategy Division (RIPS), the Deputy Director General – Technical Operations Secretariat, and the Takoradi Zonal Office highlighted both the cultural richness and the economic significance of the region, particularly its contribution to Ghana’s natural resource sector.
