The event featured legendry Togolese singer, Agboti Yao, and other popular singers, including Tony D, Israel Maweta, Lady Pat, and C. Wayo, who held members of the public spell-bound with thrilling performances which extended late into the night.
Among the celebrants was the Ambassador to Togo, Captain George Nfojoh (rtd) whose birthday also coincided with that of Dr Kwame Nkrumah.
He paid tribute to Dr Kwame Nkrumah, saying his vision would continue to inspire African nations, and generations yet unborn.
