President John Dramani Mahama has dissolved the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral of Ghana and ordered the closure of its Secretariat following what government officials describe as damning audit revelations.
The decision was announced by Government Spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu at a press briefing on Friday, July 18, 2025. It comes in the wake of an audit that uncovered serious concerns regarding the management of public funds allocated to the project.
According to Kwakye Ofosu, the Secretariat—previously operating from the Jubilee House—was officially shut down on May 1, 2025.
“The audit findings rock the very foundation of the project and raise serious questions about the use of public resources,” he stated.
He further disclosed that the National Cathedral was registered as a company limited by guarantee, prompting the Attorney General to initiate legal proceedings for its complete dissolution.
“We expect those legal steps to commence in the coming days,” he added.
This move marks a major shift in the government’s approach to the controversial project, which has faced mounting public criticism over issues of cost, transparency, and accountability.
