“Everything is going according to plan, and I’m very, very happy,” he said, observing that over 150 people are actively involved in the final stages of work.
According to the Archbishop, significant progress has been made in recent days.
“The doors are being mounted today. They came from the monastery carpentry in Yaoundé; very solid doors with bronze panels,” he explained.
He added that the installation of granite flooring and new window fittings was also nearing completion.
Archbishop Nkea emphasised the spirit of teamwork that has characterised the project, noting that each participant “has their timelines” and that collective understanding has made the work smooth.

“You come back here on Thursday evening, you will not even believe what you will see,” he remarked with enthusiasm.
The Archbishop further disclosed that parishioners would take part in community work on Monday to clean and reinstall benches in preparation for the reopening.
“We are asking all the Christians to come out, help us do cleaning and put back the benches in the church, so that by Wednesday we are only doing decoration for the event,” he said.
With visible excitement and progress on track, the faithful are looking forward to the restored cathedral’s reopening and rededication ceremony next week.
