Students of the University of Professional Studies are this morning staging a protest against the citing of a fuel station just behind the school.
The move by the students comes on the back of the atomic junction gas explosion that has so far claimed 7 lives with more than 130 people injured.
In a statement the Students’ Representative Council said “Due to the high number of casualties recorded by some students of UPSA, the executive council of the Students’ Representive Council (SRC) would like to by this notice inform the students of the University of Professional Studies, Accra declare a demonstration tomorrow, Monday 9th October, 2017”.
The statement encouraged students to turn up for the demonstration even though there will be no lectures today.
Below are details of the statement
