Gov’t Dissolves National Cathedral Secretariat Amid Scandals
Move follows years of controversy, with allegations of financial mismanagement and stalled progress on the national project.

- Secretariat officially dissolved following ongoing public criticism and scrutiny
- Project faced allegations of financial mismanagement and lack of transparency
- Future of the cathedral remains uncertain, with construction stalled
The Government of Ghana has officially dissolved the National Cathedral Secretariat, signaling a major policy shift on one of the most debated national projects in recent years.
Initially spearheaded by former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, the National Cathedral was envisioned as a grand Christian worship center and a unifying symbol of Ghana’s religious heritage.
However, the project has been riddled with controversy, particularly concerning its financing and execution.
Over the years, the initiative has faced growing public backlash, with numerous allegations of financial mismanagement and corruption. These issues have cast a long shadow over the project’s credibility and viability.
The dissolution of the secretariat appears to mark the end of the road for the once-ambitious project, leaving behind questions about accountability and the future of the partially completed structure.
