The National Chief Imam in Ghana, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu has donated GH¢ 50,000 to the National Cathedral project.

The Muslims Overlord made the contribution on Thursday, August 26, 2021, to add up to the money which has already been raised from the fundraising dinner as well as from the Ketoaa Biaa nsua initiative.

The Vice President, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, has stated that he has made his contribution towards the construction of the National Cathedral.

He has however called on the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and other faith-based organizations to voluntarily contribute theirs to help put up the place of prayer.

Dr Bawumia acknowledged the immense contribution of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana in partnering government for development and also lauded the role of faith-based organisations in helping develop the country.

So far, $50million has been raised for the construction of the National Cathedral.

This was revealed by the Head of the Church Relations with the National Cathedral project, Rev Ameyaw Ebenezer Saka when he was questioned on how much has been raised so far.

The amount raised so far is exactly half the target money of US $100million needed to complete the building project.

Rev. Saka encouraged the general public to keep sending their voluntary contributions to ensure the smooth completion of the project.

In a bid to get a total of one million dollars and over to put up the national Cathedral, the government is appealing to Ghanaians to support with a monthly contribution of GH¢100.

Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, says this would go a long way to help with the completion of the much-talked-about edifice to be ready for commissioning by March 6, 2024.

He made this known during the presentation of the 2021 mid-year budget review in Parliament on Thursday, July 29, 2021.
