Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, Founder and General Overseer of United Denominations of Action Chapel Churches Worldwide, and Rev. Eastwood Anaba, President of Eastwood Anaba Ministries, have resigned from the Board of Trustees overseeing the construction of the National Cathedral.
Archbishop Duncan-Williams and Rev. Anaba stated in a joint statement that their decision to stand down is due to the government’s inability to establish an independent accounting firm to perform a full audit of all public money given to the National Cathedral.
On January 23, this year, the two clerics demanded that the project be suspended immediately and that a financial audit be conducted.
They clarified, at the time that their call was based on the controversies surrounding the project.

They said that the suspension would have made it possible for the Ghanaian people to be handled fairly and openly.
In a message to the Board of Trustees, they asked for an independent audit of the project’s costs.
However, based on their request going unanswered, the preachers decided to resign from the project board, according to their current joint statement.
“We, therefore, regret that as a matter of conscience and faith, we hereby submit to you our resignation from the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral. We honourably assure you, as we assured the Board of Trustees in January 2023 with the submission of our Resolution, that our action in no way impugns the vision or intent of The National Cathedral, but rather ensures that it is advanced and built on a foundation of integrity, efficiency and quality while garnering and maintaining public trust and support.”
