Felix Kwakye Ofosu, Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications says Ghana does not need a national cathedral.
According to him, while the government is open to supporting religious organisations in other ways, it firmly opposes allocating taxpayer money to such a project. "I am very clear that we don't need a national cathedral.
If religious organisations, churches are minded to put up a cathedral and they request for land from government and government offers it and they are able to generate their resources to build it, all well and good. "But I don't believe that we should put public funds into a national cathedral," he said on Channel One TV's Face to Face on Tuesday April 8, 2025.
The Minister highlighted that this position has been consistently upheld by President John Dramani Mahama, who has remained steadfast in his commitment to prioritising public funds for other pressing national needs. "This is a position that we canvassed clearly, and President Mahama has stuck to that position," he added.
