The Nation Chief Imam, Sheikh Osman Nuhu Sharubutu has donated an amount of GHC50,000 towards the building of the National Cathedral.
He made the presentation when the Board of Trustees of the project paid a courtesy call on the Chief Imam on Thursday, August 26, 2021.
The National Cathedral Secretariat has been inviting support from the general public for the project in a campaign dubbed “Ketewa Biara Nsua”, which conveys the message that no contribution is small.
In his Mid-Year Budget Review in Parliament, Minister of Finance Ken Ofor-Atta pleaded on behalf of the secretariat for Ghanaians to commit to making a monthly contribution of GH₵100 towards the project.
The initiative is supposed to raise half of the US$200 million needed to build the edifice.
Meanwhile, the Vice President, Dr Mahamadu Bawumia, who made his contribution towards the construction of the National Cathedral a few days ago called on the Presbyterian Church of Ghana and other faith-based organizations to voluntarily contribute theirs to help put up the place of prayer.

“Ghana protects legitimate investments, economy rebounding” – Akufo-Addo to German investors
“We will continue to create and maintain the conducive investment environment that not only guarantees the safety of investments, but good returns as well. We will continue to protect legitimate investments, and preserve the atmosphere of peace, stability and security that has been an important contributor to the increasing presence of German businesses in Ghana”.
These were the words of the President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, on Tuesday, 24th August 2021, when he addressed the Ghana-Germany Business Forum, in Dusseldorf, as part of his working visit to the Federal Republic of Germany.
Addressing the Forum, President Akufo-Addo indicated that Ghana is a country where the principles of democratic accountability and respect for the rule of law, individual liberties and human rights are now firmly entrenched in our body politic, and where the separation of powers is real in promoting accountable governance.
Since assuming office in January 2017, he explained that his government has put in place measures needed to reduce the cost of doing business, improve the business environment, and made the Ghanaian economy not only one of the most business-friendly economies in Africa, but also one of the fastest growing economies in the world between 2017 and 2020, averaging annual GDP growth rates of 7% for those years, up from the 3.4% GDP growth rate inherited from the Mahama government in 2016.
