The board of trustees comprise the following; The Chairman, Most Reverend Asante Antwi, former Presiding Bishop of the Methodist Church of Ghana and his assistant, Metropolitan Archbishop of Accra, Charles Plamer Buckle. Prophet Kusi Boateng will be the member secretary to the board.
The rest of the members are, Apostle Opoku Onyinah, Chairman of the Church of Pentecost, Rev. Joyce Agree, Executive Director of the Salt and Light Ministry, Presbyterian Moderator, Cephas Amenyo, Rt. Rev. Offei Akrofi, Archbishop Nicholas Dancun Williams, General overseer of the Christian Action Faith Ministries, Rev.

In a response on behalf of the Board, the Chairman Rt. Rev. Asante Antwi says he and his team are in a hurry just like the President disclosed in his State of the Nation address, to deliver the project for the people of Ghana.
He assured the President that he and his board will get to work immediately.
