The National Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu, has made a GH₵ 50,000 donation to the building of the National Cathedral in Accra.
The de facto leader of the Islamic community in Ghana presented his support to the board of trustees of the project in a short ceremony on Thursday, August 26 when the trustees paid a courtesy call on the Chief Imam.
Vice president Dr Mahamudu Bawumia has called on the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and other faith-based organizations to voluntarily contribute funds to build the national cathedral.
Dr Bawumia is confident the building of the cathedral will uplift the glory of God.
He was speaking when he joined the Adabraka Official Town branch of the Presbyterian church of Ghana to celebrate the 30 years of ministry of the District Minister Rev. Kwadwo Owusu Sarpong in Accra on Sunday August 22.
“I want to make one point before I sit down. As you all know there are efforts to build a national cathedral. It is very important that we build the cathedral, it is a voluntary exercise, anyone who wants to contribute can contribute. I have contributed and I will contribute more so I encourage everybody to think about it and let us build it. It is not for anybody, it is for Ghana and for the glory of God”
Rev Ameyaw Ebenezer Saka, Head of the Church Relations with the National Cathedral project also appealed Ghanaians to support the project with their contrubutions.
Rev Saka told Dzifa Bampoh on the First Take on 3FM August 2 that the national cathedral is going to give the tourism sector in Ghana a facelift 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 facelift,” he said
