The President Nana Akufo Addo says, the National Cathedral will serve as a rally point for the Christian community when completed.
He says the Cathedral will also serve as a collective thanksgiving point for the over 70% Christian community in Ghana.
Speaking at the centenary celebration of the Ga Presbytry of the Presbytarian church of Ghana, the President appreciated the support of the church in the building of the National Nathedral.
Thanking the Presbyterian Church of Ghana for the support it continues to give for the construction of the National Cathedral, he stated that, upon completion, the National Cathedral will serve not only as the country’s collective thanksgiving “to the Almighty for the blessings He has bestowed on our nation, sparing us the ravages of civil war that have bedevilled the histories of virtually all our neighbours, and the outbreak of deadly mass epidemics, but also as a rallying point for the entire Christian Community of Ghana, which represents seventy plus percent (70+%) of the population.”
The President, therefore, asked the Ga Presbytery, and, indeed, all Christians, to continue to pray for Ghana’s peace and unity, so the nation can move forward in unity.
“I need the support of every Ghanaian, together with the prayers of the Church, to help me and my government carry out our mandate successfully. Pray for me so that Almighty God will continue to give me wisdom, strength, courage and compassion to enable me execute my duties as a good leader. With Him, all things are possible, as the Battle is the Lord’s!! For this too shall pass!!”, President Akufo-Addo said.
Touching on the economy and the appreciation of the Ghana cedi again the dollar, the Preaident said this development is as a result of policies of Government.
According to President Akufo-Addo, “the strengthening of the cedi has not happened by chance, but through the implementation of deliberate policies by Government, in collaboration with the Bank of Ghana.”
These measures, he said, include “cedi liquidity tightening measures, resulting in the offloading of forex, as a store of value, by speculators; the improvement of forex flows from remittances and the mining sector; and the reaching of a staff level agreement with the IMF for a US$3 billion package.”
