National Cathedral project not abandoned – Board

The National Cathedral project site The National Cathedral project site

The National Cathedral of Ghana’s Board of Directors has denied rumors that the state-allocated site for the project is being converted into a Cultural Convention Center.

The public’s mounting anxiety about rumours circulating on the internet prompted an emergency board meeting on July 7, 2025, which resulted in this clarification.

Dr Paul Opoku-Mensah, the Executive Director of the National Cathedral, stressed in a statement released on Wednesday, July 9, that no government agency has formally announced any modification to the project’s goal.

“The National Cathedral project has not been abandoned, nor has there been any official decision to convert the site into a Cultural Convention Centre,” the statement asserted. “The site remains legally held by the National Cathedral of Ghana, incorporated as a company limited by guarantee, with all architectural and design plans tailored specifically for its current religious and cultural vision.”

He reiterated that the Cathedral was intended to serve as a hallowed national venue for important religious official functions, including national Thanksgiving celebrations and state burials.

The President’s recent proclamation of July 1 as Ghana’s official National Day of Prayer, he continued, emphasizes how crucial and urgent it is to finish the project.

Apart from its religious purpose, the Cathedral is intended to be a beacon of culture and heritage. A Bible Museum, Biblical Garden, banquet hall, 350-seat restaurant, library, and conference center are among the planned amenities, which are all intended to foster faith-based travel and patriotism.

Responding to concerns, the Board referenced a Deloitte & Touche audit that certified that all public money allotted to the project were accounted for and that payments were made only on the basis of verified work and signed contracts.

Regarding the future, the Board disclosed that talks are under progress to implement a different strategy for finishing the project. In order to depoliticize the effort and gather the required resources, this tactic entails encouraging cooperation between the government, the church, and civil society.

“The Board remains fully committed to the vision of the National Cathedral,” Dr. Opoku-Mensah concluded, “not only as a national place of worship and unity for the Christian community, but also as an interfaith and cultural space for all Ghanaians.”

The Secretariat called on the public to ignore false information and to back further initiatives to provide what it calls a  “family house for all Christians” and a unifying national symbol.
