The name of the seat of government has this morning Thursday, March 29 been changed from Flagstaff House to Jubilee House.
The old signage, Flagstaff House has been replaced with a new one which reads Jubilee House.
President Nana Akufo-Addo signed a notice which confirms that the seat of Presidency shall be referred to as Jubilee House and the property known as Flagstaff House located on the premises of the Jubilee House shall be preserved as such.
The Flagstaff House which was formerly known as Golden Jubilee House, is the presidential palace in Accra that serves as a residence and office to the President of Ghana.
Flagstaff House was reconstructed and inaugurated by the government of John Agyekum Kufour with the name Golden Jubilee House in November 2008 when construction was about 70%–80% completed.
In January 2009, the incoming government of President Mills moved the office of the president back to Osu Castle and later changed the sign in front of the building back to its original name claiming that the previous government had not used a Legislative Instrument to effect the change as required by law.
The Mills government was in turn criticized that the name Flagstaff House which was given to the building by the British Gold Coast government glorifies Ghana's Gold Coast past.
The seat of government was moved back to Flagstaff House in January 2013.
