President John Mahama has promised that his government will reassess the National Cathedral project.
He noted that his administration will review the cost of the entire project and seek funding for its construction.
According to him, the state should not be the one to invest resources.
He said this at the National Prayer and Thanksgiving Service in Accra on Sunday, January 12, 2025.
He further revealed that if his government decides to continue the project, the location will also be reconsidered.
“This project must be completed at a reasonable cost. Given the current circumstances that Ghana is facing, it makes no sense to undertake such a project at a whopping sum of $400 million. I am informed that the National Ecumenical Centre in Abuja, which serves all Christian denominations in Nigeria, was built at a cost of $30 million. I believe we can achieve this project at a much more reasonable figure, and together, we can raise the necessary funds,” he said.
“Such a reconsideration of this project might even include changing the current site that was chosen for the project,” he said.
“On the future of the project, the Cathedral, I believe that all of us, as Christians, must forge a consensus on how to achieve this project without recourse to public funds.”
