The Construction of National Cathedral for Ghana to be used and managed by the Christian Council has begun with Foundation Stone imported from Jerusalem.
The altar of the Cathedral would be built on the Foundation Stone.
The Cathedral, upon completion, would have a Secretariat to manage its day-to-day activities.
The Cathedral, upon completion, would be a unifying monument with a 5,000-seat auditorium, Conference Centre, Music School, Art Gallery, and Bible Museum and hosts international Pilgrimage.
It was designed by a renowned British Architect with Ghanaian descent, Sir David Adjaye and sited on a-5.5 hectares of land, near the State House, Ridge, Accra.
According to President Akufo-Addo, it was also in fulfillment of a pledge he made to God in the run-up to the 2016 Election that if God granted him victory in the election after two unsuccessful attempts, he would help build a Cathedral in His honour and glory, saying; “I’m determined to redeem my pledge to God”.
“In addition, it would unify the 71 percent of the Ghanaian population who are Christians and thereby help promote national unity and social cohesion.”
