“This is going to bring huge tourism in this country, a lot of people are going to get jobs and we will see tourism having a facelift,”
“On the onset before the Biblical Garden and the Bible Museum, it was pegged at a hundred million dollars, now that it has been added it will be a bit higher. I can’t tell you exactly but it will be a bit higher than the hundred million dollars.
“How much it has come in? Thank God we have gotten a seed amount from the state and also with the various fundraising we held in Accra in December 2018, in Washington in 2019 and also in Kumasi in January 2020, we have had a quite amount of money.
“I think that about half of the hundred million.”
