He was speaking at a New Year's Service at the Jubilee House on Tuesday, January 10, 2023.

Metropolitan Archbishop of the Anglican Church in charge of the Province of West Africa, Most. Rev. Dr Cyril Ben Smith said despite opposition to the construction of the national cathedral, the edifice will be completed to the glory of God.

"Your building of the National Cathedral is enough testimony of your devotion to God. No matter the naysayers, it will happen," he said.

He urged the public to keep faith in the President to ensure that the turmoils are surmounted successfully.
