President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has re-asserted his determination to build the National Cathedral.
He said the national cathedral project was something dear to his government, stressing that it will be built at all cost to the glory and honour of God.
The President made the statement when he joined the family and friends of Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong at his late father’s Service of Thanksgiving on Sunday at the Pentecost International Worship Centre (PIWC), Graceland Teshie Nungua in Accra.
While commiserating with Dr Agyepong and his family for their loss during this difficult moment, the President encouraged him to take consolation in the fact that his late father gave birth to him to affect lives positively.
“In fact, the name Dr Agyepong has been lost on Ghanaians. Now Zoomlion has become his [Dr Agyepong’s] household name, all thanks to his entrepreneurial skills and his passion to help transform lives in the country,” he praised Dr Siaw Agyepong.
According to President Akufo-Addo, his government will continue to support Dr Siaw Agyepong and his JGC and any other private person who was ready to support Ghana’s development efforts.
“My administration will continue to create the enabling environment for private businesses to thrive so they can support the government in its development agenda,” he reinforced.
Dr Siaw Agyepong, the President averred, has a lot to offer the country, hence his government will continue to support him.
“Though the economic hardships are having a toll on Ghanaians, I am very optimistic that things will get better, adding that “these challenges too will pass.”
He implored Ghanaians to always foster unity to bring about peace and development.
