President John Mahama has criticised the erstwhile New Patriotic Party (NPP) government over the cost of the abandoned National Cathedral project.

According to Mr Mahama, the proposed cost is excessive, and he believes the building can be completed at a more reasonable amount.

He pointed out that a similar facility in Nigeria was constructed at a much lower cost than the one planned for Ghana. "This project must be completed at a reasonable cost.

Given the current circumstances Ghana is facing, it makes no sense to undertake such a project at a staggering sum of $400 million.
