Stand up KNUST SRC Presidential aspirant Jude Sabutey has charged the KNUST SRC Executives to sit up and address issues of students as the campus of the great university gets flooded.


In a statement issued earlier today, he expressed his concerns over the floods and how bad it will affect the academics and normalcy of life on campus. Below is the statement;


The earlier days of the semester saw myself and colleague students and friends take to the streets to clear out our canals and gutters. 

To many, it was a typical Electoral activity but to us this was an activity of great foresight. At our second clean-up exercise, we saw several students join us as we cleared the drainage and the streets, while anticipating the effects of clogged up drainage in the forthcoming season. 

We have seen very worrying images of flooding in our Hostels. I had to walk through a flooded area myself to visit a friend yesterday evening.


By this communique, I respectfully call on the SRC to be proactive and engage authorities before any unfortunate incident happens; and I also call on all the non-residential MPs to come on board and mobilise constituents to clear the drains.


Finally, While we push for lasting solutions, I call on all students notwithstanding political differences to join us. Let us clear our drainage together.

Neglected Roads, Neglected Students: The Perilous Journey of KNUST Students Off-Campus

A dangerous footbridge students use The roads students ply off-campus, especially Ayeduase, home to many students, have long been a source of frustration and danger.  Despite being a key route for students commuting to and from the university, the condition of those roads has continued to deteriorate, with no plans for improvement in sight. The rainy season exacerbates the situation, transforming the roads into a maze of mud and deep potholes. Students are sometimes seen jumping on stones to avoid messing their shoes. During the dry season, the roads are marred by dust and uneven surfaces, making travel uncomfortable and hazardous.   For students off-campus, this means navigating treacherous paths daily, risking their safety and well-being in the process. Adding to the hazards are the open trenches, unsafe bridges and makeshift wooden structures over gutters. The hilly and rocky terrain further complicates the commute, requiring students to maneuver through challenging landscapes.  As
