Celebration of the 31st anniversary of June 4 Uprising, would be climaxed with a grand durbar at Tamale, in the Northern Region.
A statement issued in Accra on Thursday by the Planning Committee said the programme of activities would commence on Wednesday, June 2, with the Youth For Leadership (YFL) Congress.
It said this year's celebration under the theme, "Our Youth, Our Future" was to address the issue of Ghanaian youth who seem to be losing
the June 4 fervour because of the distortion of history led by neo-colonial minded Ghanaians and self-seekers.
The statement recounted the manner youth from all walks of life, including university students, workers and even the unemployed, joined
members of the armed forces and security agencies in 1979 to uproot a corrupt dictatorship that had abused its political powers.
"Corruption which had so degenerated into hoarding of essential commodities in order to create artificial shortages with its attendant price hikes, were all brought to an end by a patriotic sense of belonging in the nation.
"Our youth are calling for a sense of direction. Our youth need direction to be productive and also to be recognised in the developmental processes of our country. We cannot afford to have a youth who are not given
true leadership and direction by those who are swept into power through the vigilance and fortitude of the youth," it added.
The statement called on all true patriots to participate in the Tamale durbar and other events marking the 31st anniversary of the Uprising and
help restore the principles of justice, probity and accountability.
"Former President Jerry John Rawlings and former First Lady and President of 31st December Women's Movement, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings,
are among leading speakers at the grand durbar on Friday, June 4," it added.
Other activities planned include free medical screening for inhabitants of Tamale and its surrounding areas at identifiable markets in the Metropolis on June 3.
At 19.30 hours a documentary on June 4 would be shown on large mounted screens at four different locations in Tamale.
The statement said on the morning of June 4 there would be the traditional early morning wreath laying ceremony and lighting of the
perpetual flame in memory of the fallen heroes and cadres of the June 4 revolt at the Revolution Square opposite the Golden Jubilee House in Accra.
This would be preceded by a route march from Kawokudi Junction through the 37 Military Hospital intersections to the Revolution Square, commencing at 0600 hours.
"The grand durbar on June 4 is slated for the Tamale Police Park at 15.10 hours. A float through the principal streets of Tamale would precede the durbar," the statement said.
