The government of Ghana has officially dissolved the National Cathedral Secretariat, bringing an abrupt end to one of the most controversial legacy projects of former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. Initiated as a Christian worship centre to reflect Ghana's religious heritage, the project has faced sustained public backlash and scrutiny over financial transparency and management.The dissolution signals a major policy shift, especially under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, who has consistently opposed the use of public funds for the project.
Many Ghanaians have questioned the rationale behind the project, given the country's economic challenges and lingering questions about procurement and accountability.
Speaking on Channel One TV's Face to Face programme, the Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, affirmed that the Mahama administration would not invest any further resources in the initiative.
