President Of Ghana, Nana Akuffo-Addo |
The National Cathedral Secretariat has received a donation from President Akufo-Addo of GHC100,000.
The President reaffirmed his commitment to erecting the cathedral while speaking at the ongoing Bible reading marathon at the construction site, emphasizing that it is not only a promise but also an expression of gratitude for God's mercies and kindness shown to the nation.
“The reasons for my decision to mobilise support for the construction of the National Cathedral remain unchanged. At least 71% of the Ghanaian people adhere to the Christian religion, grouped under the various persuasions of the Christian faith,” he said.
“The interdenominational national cathedral will help unify the Christian community, and thereby help promote national unity and social cohesion,” he noted.
With the help of all Ghanaians, President Akufo-Addo declared that he is resolved to fulfill his promise to God.
“It will not just be another national monument but the rallying point for the entire Christian community to come together and worship, pray and promote deep conversation on the role of faith in building mother Ghana,” he said.
Dr Opoku-Mensah noted that “There are no missing funds that could not be accounted for. The detailed accounting for this fund was provided to Parliament on December 15, 2022 by the Secretariat.”
