The Ghanaian government has officially dissolved the National Cathedral Secretariat, signaling a definitive shift away from the controversial project initiated by former President Nana Akufo-Addo. This decision underscores the government's stance on the national Christian worship center, which was initially conceived as a symbol of Ghana’s religious heritage but has since been mired in controversy.

The dissolution of the Secretariat highlights the project's troubled history, marked by widespread criticism over financial management and execution. Allegations of financial mismanagement and corruption have plagued the project throughout its development, casting a shadow over its intended purpose.

Further solidifying the government’s position, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, the Minister of State in Charge of Government Communications, affirmed on Channel One TV’s Face to Face programme that the government will cease funding the abandoned National Cathedral project. This declaration aligns with President John Dramani Mahama's consistent stance that taxpayer money will not be allocated to the project.

“There are outstanding issues regarding the procurement processes, outstanding payments that the contractor is demanding, but nobody will answer because there is no National Cathedral,” Kwakye Ofosu stated. “It remains a worthless home. As a point of determination, a decision is going to be made, but what is certain is that President Mahama is not going to put GHS400 million of taxpayers’ money into that project.”

This decision marks a significant turning point for the National Cathedral project, effectively halting further financial investment and raising questions about the future of the unfinished structure. The government's firm stance reflects a commitment to fiscal responsibility and accountability in the face of ongoing public scrutiny.
