Mahama Shuts Down National Cathedral Project Over Damning Audit Findings
President John Dramani Mahama has ordered the immediate dissolution of the Board of Trustees overseeing the National Cathedral of Ghana and the closure of its Secretariat, citing serious financial irregularities uncovered by an official audit.
At a press briefing on Friday, July 18, Government Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu revealed that the Secretariat—previously operating from the Jubilee House—was formally shut down on May 1, 2025.
“The audit findings strike at the core of the project’s integrity and raise grave concerns about the handling of public funds,” Kwakye Ofosu stated.
He further disclosed that the project, which was registered as a company limited by guarantee, will now face legal action to ensure its full dissolution.
“The National Cathedral Ghana was registered as a company limited by guarantee. Consequently, the Attorney General has been directed to initiate legal proceedings for its complete dissolution in the coming days,” he added.
