What appears to be a text book for primary schools has left many Ghanaians on social media concerned.
The said book presented questions on the controversial national cathedral project which has been suspended due to lack of funds.

The set of questions with a number of possible answers sought to find out the location of the project, the individuals who stood against the project and the reason for such action.
For many, the set of questions (290 and 291) smacks insensitivity as it downplays and trivializes the reason their are opposed to the project.

Among those with such assertion is FixTheCountry convenor, Barker-Vormawor. In a Twitter post, he said “I am shocked that some Ghanaians are angry bcos the national cathedral debate has apparently found its way into a textbook of sorts. What they SHOULD be angry about is the poor framing of questions 290 & 291 & answer choices. Read carefully.”

Other users say they are unable to fathom how propaganda politics found its way into the educational system.

They are demanding the identity of the author and want to know whether this book, whose title is yet to be made known to the published, has been authorised for use.
National Cathedral
The national cathedral project meant to thank God for how far he has brought Ghana has been shrouded in secrecy, according to reports.
MP for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has accused the government of embezzlement and misappropriation.
Aside from his revelations that have won anger towards the project, some Ghanaians say the construction of the project is untimely.
According to them, government cannot prioritise a cathedral over their standard of living and wellbeing, which they say has worsened due to government’s bad choices in the running of the economy.
But President Akufo-Addo has assured that the national cathedral project will be completed. This is because some Ghanaians think it is the right and best thing to do.
