The Secretary of the Board of Trustees in charge of the National Cathedral project, Prophet Victor Kusi Boateng has disclosed that the construction of the National Cathedral will cost about $200 million.
Speaking to Accra-based Joy News, he said some extensions have been added to the initial project hence the original cost of $100 million has shot up the budget.
The Finance Minister in the 2019 budget presentation said the overall cost of the inter-denominational sacred space for the nation at $100 million.
However, the man of God says the cost had gone up due to the extension made to the original project.
Prophet Boateng admonished Ghanaians to contribute to the project.
He said“it is just right for everyone who is a believer or non-believer to understand that the church has contributed so much and it has come to a point that the Church also needs the citizenry to support us build this National Cathedral. Besides the *979#, we are trusting God that we will get over 1 million people contributing.”
“The $100 million figure as we heard from the Finance Minister’s own mouth was when we were still working on the Cathedral and we had not advanced from the Bible Museum to the Biblical gardens. We are still working on the figures but we have been informed that it will be more than the amount that it was pegged at.
“[So] let’s say with $200 million we should be able to do these things,” he said.
