National Cathedral To Hospital: 'Are There No More Lands In Ghana?' - Dr. Otchere-Ankrah Queries TUC Boss

Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah, a Governance Lecturer at the Central University, has slammed the Trade Union Congress (TUC) over their call for the National Cathedral to be converted into a hospital.

Addressing the 2023 May Day parade in Bolgatanga in the Upper East Region under the theme: "Protecting incomes and pensions in an era of economic crisis: Our responsibility", the Secretary-General of the TUC, Dr. Anthony Yaw Baah said converting the Cathedral into a hospital will serve the needs of Ghanaians better.

“The President has always said he wants to create another Notre Dame in Ghana so we can attract a lot of visitors but we disagree. In fact, comrades, it will be better to convert the project into a national hospital,” Dr Yaw Baah said.

But Dr. Benjamin Otchere-Ankrah has questioned the logic in the TUC request.

He wondered why they would ask for the Cathedral to be converted into hospital, asking "are there no more lands in Ghana?"

Dr. Otchere-Ankrah cautioned the TUC to focus on matters regarding them and not meddle in issues that do not concern them.

"Let's stop this", he exclaimed.
