[CMake] Concerning ninja -v

I have a simple CMake project with subdirectories:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.10)
project(MyProject VERSION 1.0.0)

set(CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE ON CACHE BOOL "ON")

add_subdirectory(say-hello)
add_subdirectory(hello-exe)

Will the 'CMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE' option be inherited by the CMakeLists.txt
files in the subdirectories?

I want to run ninja with the '-v' option for verbosity but the above 'set'
command is not achieving this. What do I need to do differently?

(I am running CMake 3.15.4 on WSL - Ubuntu 18.04).
