An amount of Fifty million dollars has been generated so far for the National Cathedral Project, Rev Ameyaw Ebenezer Saka, Head of the Church Relations with the National Cathedral Project, has revealed.
Speaking on the first take on 3fm on Monday August 2, 2021, he encouraged the general public to keep sending their voluntary contributions in order to ensure a smooth completion of the project.
Rev Saka further stated that the national cathedral is going to give the tourism sector in Ghana a face-lift and also create jobs for Ghanaians.
“This is going to bring huge tourism in this country, a lot of people are going to get jobs and we will see tourism having a face-lift”
Being asked a question on how much have been budgeted for the entire project, Rev Saka answered, “On the onset before the Biblical Garden and the Bible museum were added, it was pegged at a hundred million dollars, now that it has been added it will be a bit higher. I can’t tell you exactly but it will be a bit higher than the hundred million dollars.”
He further said,” Thank God we have gotten a seed amount from the state and also with the various fundraising we held in Accra in December 2018, in Washington in 2019 and also in Kumasi January 2020, we have had a quite amount of money. I think that about half of the hundred million.”
Rev Saka added that, “The requested voluntary contributions is very important because we want to have the ordinary Ghanaian to own this project, ordinary Christian to own this project so your contributions come in to help facilitate the project.”
