Legon Authorities Creating A “Situation Of Inconvenience”

Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon Constituency, Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko, has called on authorities of the University of Ghana to reconsider their decision to restrict motorists from using the access routes to the institution. Hon. Agyarko appealed to the University authorities to review their order for the sake of the school children at the institution's basic school. Authorities of the University of Ghana, Legon, on Monday had a tussle with parents of the wards at the University Basic School (UBS) over the restriction of vehicular access to campus without the University's customized stickers displayed on them. The University cited security reasons as the basis for the new order. But the directive did not sink down well with the parents of the school children who also blocked all access routes with their cars except the entrance from the Okponglo intersection for motorists to use. Speaking on "National Agenda" on Oman FM, Hon. Agyarko was of the view that the directive may have dire consequences for the school children. He wants the University to review the directive and implored them to take the plight of the children into consideration because the authorities are creating a "situation of inconvenience."
