Expressing her personal connection to the project as a Christian, Abena Osei-Asare stated, "I think we could have handled it better than what we have done, that I must admit." She emphasized the importance of robust oversight and management to ensure the successful completion of such a significant national initiative.

Abena Osei-Asare highlighted the crucial role of the Board of Trustees in fundraising efforts to support the project's advancement.
