A GhanaWeb feature by George Ayisi The National Cathedral of Ghana was first conceptualized by President in March 2017 during Ghana's 60th Independence Day celebrations.
He described the project not just as a monument but as a testament to his faith and gratitude towards God for his political victories.
The cathedral was to be an interdenominational house of worship, symbolizing unity among Ghana's predominantly Christian population.
It was presented as a fulfillment of a personal vow Akufo-Addo made to God, promising to build a cathedral if elected president after two unsuccessful attempts.
