According to him, his gesture was meant to deepen the cordial and peaceful coexistence between Christians and Muslims in the country.
The building of the National Cathedral which was launched last year has triggered debates with some people describing it as a misplaced priority but the government has insisted that the project is worthwhile.
Recently, President Akufo-Addo urged Ghanaians to contribute GHC100 each to the construction of the cathedral, a call which also attracted a lot of mixed reactions.
