The National Cathedral, when completed, is also going to be a burial place for all ex-presidents and important personalities when they die, the Founder and General Overseer of Power Chapel Worldwide, Prophet Victor Kusi Boateng, who is also the Secretary to the Board of the National Cathedral, has disclosed.

He explained that the project, which is going to be the biggest Bible Museum in the world, will serve multi-purposes.

“It is not just about the cathedral, it is Biblical museum which is going to be the biggest. We are building in terms of space, in terms of contents and in terms of technology.

“We are building the biggest Bible museum in the world that is an African Bible Museum because a lot of people don’t know that there is a business white man who came to colonize us and there was the religious white man who came to empower us.

“They were the ones that came to help us build schools like Prempeh College , Opoku Ware, St Augustine’s , Wesley Girls, Holy Child . A lot of people don’t know that Africa plays role in the Bible.

“We don’t know of who the Ethiopian Enoch is and his influence, we don’t even know that Africa was the place that saved Jesus from being prematurely killed,” he said on the Good Evening Ghana show on Thursday December 23.

He added “We are building the state-of-the-art and one of the best museums in the world and the biggest Bible Museum in the world but to be called the African Museum of the Bible. It is going to bring African significance in the Bible.”

“Five thousand expandable to 20,000, you can open it up . We have a museums down there, where ex-presidents who enter into eternity will be buried, we call it a Museum. What we are doing has never been done anywhere in the world,” Rev Kusi Boateng added.

The Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta had told Parliament that Cathedral would be officially opened on March 6, 2024, upon completion.

He said this while delivering the 2021 mid-year budget review in Parliament on Thursday, July 29, 2021.

“Mr. Speaker, work on the National Cathedral is progressing speedily, and following the program of the contractors, and with God helping us, the National Cathedral is expected to be officially commissioned on March 6, 2024. Upon completion, the National Cathedral would provide a sacred space for formal religious activities of State and symbolize the enormous contribution of faith to Nation Building.”
