Ghana is building a National Cathedral
National Cathedral a fulfilment of a pledge to God, President Akufo-Addo says
$250 million to be spent in building National Cathedral
The ongoing construction of the National Cathedral of Ghana has come with it several questions and concerns on whether or not this is a necessary project to be undertaken by the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government, and especially now.
But the president has insisted that this project and the eventual construction of the state-of-the-art edifice forms part of a personal pledge he made to God.
The $250 million project, expected to be completed and opened on March 6, 2024, will provide a sacred space for formal religious activities of the State and symbolize the enormous contribution of faith to Nation Building.
But, GhanaWeb has chanced upon the details of one of the main pages of the official website of the National Cathedral that shows how people can become members of the project.
