President John Dramani Mahama has described the cost of the National Cathedral project as excessive, urging for its completion at a more reasonable figure.
He compared the project's projected $400 million price tag to a similar facility in Nigeria, which was constructed at a fraction of the cost. "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. "I am informed that the National Ecumenical Centre in Abuja, which serves all Christian denominations in Nigeria, was built at a cost of $30 million.
I believe we can achieve this project at a much more reasonable figure, and together, we can raise the necessary funds," Mahama stated.
