In March last year at the ground-breaking ceremony of the Cathedral, the seasoned journalist carried a bag of cement to symbolise his support to the course.
Controversial musician Kwame Asare Obeng aka A-Plus has chided broadcast journalist Captain Smart when the latter donated 100 bags of cement towards the construction of the Inter-denominational National Cathedral.

That notwithstanding, he made his donation in a form of GH¢ 3,000 cash, an equivalent of 100 bags of cement.
Captain Smart's donation follows a pledge he made after President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo announced to construct a National Cathedral.

After the donation, some social media users questioned why a presenter of his calibre decided to pioneer an agenda that Ghanaians feel shouldn't be a priority since Christianity is not the only religious sect in the country.
