Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams, General Overseer of Action Chapel International, has publicly explained his decision to resign from the National Cathedral of Ghana’s Board of Trustees.
In a recent statement shared by GNA on August 27, 2024, Duncan-Williams revealed that his departure was motivated by a belief that his presence was no longer making an impact.
“I left the National Cathedral’s Board because I felt I couldn’t make a difference there,” the founder of Action Chapel International said.
Duncan-Williams and Rev Eastwood Anaba of Eastwood Anaba Ministries both stepped down from the Board in October 2023.
Their resignation was formally communicated to President Akufo-Addo, citing increasing concerns over the project’s transparency and accountability as their reasons for leaving.
“Despite our prayers, best hopes and wishes, unfortunately, a needed audit to help restore public confidence and trust in this consequential project has not been enacted to the best of our knowledge. Since January 2023, we have awaited news, to no avail, regarding the findings of the audit. 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,” the statement said.
They clarified that their resignation should not be seen as a challenge to the National Cathedral’s vision or goals.
Instead, they emphasized that they believe their departure serves to advance the project with a focus on integrity, efficiency, and quality, while also maintaining and strengthening public trust and support.
