Faculty members of the University of Ghana (UG) have through a letter indicated that they are not against the construction of the Commonwealth Annex Hall as claimed by members of the Commonwealth Halls.
They are advising rioting students to be wary of the actions they take.
The Commonwealth Hall Annex is a project being spearheaded by the Alumni of the Commonwealth Hall of the University.
The project when completed will have a fully-furnished 4,660-bed capacity, together with an 8,000 capacity auditorium, and a shopping mall.
In a letter written by Prof. Nana Akua Anyidoho on behalf of the faculty, she categorically mentioned that the unsavoury comments from the students were indicative of deliberate misinformation about the impending project. At a recent press conference organized by the students to protest their displeasure over the stalling of the project, the aggrieved students, however, accused the lecturers of sabotage warning that they would do everything possible to ensure that the project was executed.
READ THE FULL LETTER BELOW Dear Junior Colleagues,
CONCERNS ABOUT THE COMMONWEALTH HALL ANNEX PROJECT We write to engage with you on recent public statements made by individuals who have represented themselves as speaking for students of Commonwealth Hall. We are taking this step because the statements made during a press conference organized in your name on Friday, 29 January 2021 suggest to us that you do not have accurate information about the issues at stake
