Design drawing, making of Burj Khalifa cost $1.8m - Saani reprimands asserted $22m expense to Sir Adjaye
How unreliable, harsh, insensitive might you at any point be? - Adib Saani on National Cathedral claims
Security Analyst Adib Saani has joined the considerable rundown of Ghanaians who have scrutinized the public authority for the claimed $22 million installment to Sir David Adjaye for his company's compositional work on the National Cathedral of Ghana (NCG).
As per Saani, even the engineering drawing and making of the tallest structure on the planet, Burj Khalifa, cost $ 1.8 million.
In a post on Facebook on June 23, 2022, the security expert showed that the supposed expense paid to David Adjaye is counter-intuitive.
"The engineering drawing and making (of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest structure on the planet which was planned and made by American designer Adrian Smith) cost $1.8million.
"The Burj Khalifa level is a stunning 828 meters (2716.5 feet) tall, rising above Dubai. It's multiple times as tall as the Eiffel Tower and almost two times as tall as the Empire State Building. Laid start to finish, its pieces stretch over a fourth of the strategy for getting around the world. Its cloud-puncturing level is unquestionably one of the most noteworthy realities about Burj Khalifa.
"Public Cathedral of Ghana design by the main qualified planner in Ghana, David Adjaye, cost the citizen $22million or maybe more... How flippant, unfeeling, insensitive might you at any point be?" bits of the post shared by Saani read.
In the mean time, the Vice President of IMANI Africa, Bright Simons, has asserted that the design work for the National Cathedral undertaking was sole-obtained to Sir David Adjaye and Associates Limited at $22 million.
The $22 million arrangement, Simons said, is 10% of the all out cost to be caused for the National Cathedral venture.
In a tweet shared on June 16, 2022, the IMANI VP added that Sir David Adjaye and Associates Limited were paid $6 million even before they started work.
"To fabricate its National Cathedral, Ghana chooses to single-source simply the design to Adjaye and assoc for ~$22m (10% of undertaking cost!) And pay $6m forthright!" parts of the tweet read.
