The Christian Council of Ghana has called on President John Dramani Mahama to ensure the completion of the National Cathedral, stressing that the project could become a lasting spiritual and cultural landmark despite the country’s current economic challenges.
During a courtesy visit to Jubilee House on Tuesday, November 18, the Council acknowledged the difficult economic climate but insisted that, if completed under a transparent framework, the cathedral would stand as an enduring symbol for generations.
Vice Chairman of the Council, Rev. Enoch Thompson, said: “While we are aware of the prevailing economic difficulties, we believe that the cathedral’s completion, under a transparent, accountable, and inclusive framework, would serve as a spiritual and cultural landmark for generations to come.”
The delegation made three recommendations to the President: that government reaffirm its commitment to the project and ensure its continuation; that a broad-based funding structure involving churches, the private sector, and international partners be developed to ease pressure on the state; and that the cathedral be positioned as a national, interdenominational project to foster unity among Ghanaians.
The Council expressed hope that renewed attention and improved oversight would restore public confidence in the stalled project and bring it closer to completion.
