Before heading out to the airport after our 14 day mission trip in Northern Nigeria we stopped to see the National Cathedral. It is a very large and beautiful church. I'm not sure what to call the style, but I suppose modern Gothic comes close enough. My photos of the interior aren't really good.

 The Cathedral belongs to the National Christian Association of Nigeria, it is non-denominational and is used by all Christian groups.

This photo was taken in the late afternoon with the promise of a spectacular sunset. The previous photo of the National Mosque shows just how great the sunset was.

The Cathedral is set on high ground overlooking the city.

Honorary Vice President, IMANI-Africa, Bright Simons has brought some perspective to the subject of the National Cathedral construction in Ghana with regards to how a similar project was executed in neighbouring Nigeria.

Speaking on Newsfile on Saturday, June 18, 2022, Bright Simons explained that Nigeria began the construction of a building that they intended to serve as a national location for churches in the country in 1989.

This building, he explained, was a project decided on by all churches in the country who decided by consensus to contribute resources to ensure its completion.
