Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Reverend Victor Kusi Boateng, the Executive Secretary of the Board of Trustees for the National Cathedral has revealed that the country needs a whopping $250 million to complete the Cathedral.
Reverend Boateng believes that the National Cathedral’s completion is well worth the investment given the long-term advantages it will have for the nation.
He emphasized the material and spiritual benefits and exhorted the populace to unite in thanksgiving for Ghana’s bounty.
“If we could raise an amount of $200 million to $250 million, the National Cathedral will be completed. Let’s look at the advantages the Cathedral will bring to Ghana and its financial benefits as a nation. God has blessed us, we need to come together and thank Him.” he said.
Reverend Boateng compared the National Cathedral to the well-known National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington, DC, stating that it should serve as the focal point of cultural legacy.
He pointed out that even with the Ghanaian project’s lower budget of about $300 million, it would be larger and feature more cutting-edge technology than the National Museum of African American History and Culture, also referred to as the Blacksonian, which is located in Washington, DC.
“Washington Museum in construction cost $600 million, but after the completion of the Cathedral, Ghana shall have a Bible museum of Africa that will in terms of space, content, and technology be higher than the American Museum that cost them $600 million.
“All costs together our Cathedral, Biblical Museum, Biblical Gardens is just around $300 million, and ours is bigger than the American Bible Museum that costs $600 million. If you look in-depth into the data, you realize that although $300 million is money but compared to the $600 million we’ve done well.” he added.
Reverend Boateng made an appeal to Christians and believers, comparing the building of the Cathedral to a treasured tradition and urging cooperation.
He underlined the need of having a dedicated religious building that is comparable to the well-known sites around the world for other faiths.
