Chairperson of the Board of Trustees for the National Cathedral Apostle Professor Kwadwo Nimfour Opoku Onyinah has defended yet again the need for a National Cathedral insisting that the project will be profitable to the nation and will not be a white elephant as some have intimidated.

In an interview with Nana Akosua Konadu on Hard Truth on Joy News, Apostle Professor Onyinah revealed that the foundation of the National Cathedral Project alone is attracting tourists and that he has personally led groups to the site.

“Recently I met someone who said they didn’t understand the National Cathedral but they took their time and listened to one of our presentations on YouTube.
