The National Cathedral was promised by the Akufo-Addo’s administration in 2017, which raised lots of controversies from opposition parties and certain religious leaders as ‘partiality’ to define the Nation’s religious status through Christian Worship.
Despite the criticisms, the president defended the decision to proceed to his plans describing the initiative as “priorities among priorities.”
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was in the United States capital of Washington D.C on February 8, 2019, to launch the fundraising for the building of the cathedral after the State House witnessed the Ghanaian version of the unveiling through which photos revealing the design of the cathedral were disclosed.
On completion, the Cathedral would become Ghana's Mother Church, where all faiths will converge and worship God. It will also be the residence where Presidents and other dignitaries during thanksgiving services would congregate.
