The Church has to come together, let us sit down and talk about the completion of the national cathedral – Bawumia

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has asked the government and the Church to work more closely together in order to find a way forward as regards completion of the National Cathedral.

He indicated that cooperation between the two parties will improve attempts to raise the funds required to finish the project. In answer to a query during yesterday’s meeting with the clergy in Accra, Dr. Bawumia stated that the Church has to unite and “let us know the best way forward and how we can even get private resources to help us complete the cathedral.”

“I personally contributed to the construction of the national cathedral.” I think it’s a really significant project for the country.

“As it stands now the Church has to come together and let us sit down and talk about the way forward for the national cathedral,” he added.

The Vice-President, who is also the flag bearer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), further expressed optimism about the completion of the cathedral and said: “I believe it is possible, we should not say it is not possible.”

As part of his interaction with various groups and institutions around the country, Dr. Bawumia is currently on a two-day tour to the Greater Accra Region. Interactions with Imams and members of the Greater Accra Regional House of Chiefs were also anticipated.

In order to involve the people of Achimota in the Okaikwei North Constituency, the Lapaz Market, and NPP officials, Dr. Bawumia will also start a door-to-door campaign.
