Heavy police security has been conveyed to the University of Ghana following a dissent by understudy inhabitants of the Commonwealth Hall on Tuesday morning.
The dissent by the understudies followed an administration choice to suspend the Hall Master and Senior Tutor of the Commonwealth Hall after understudies of the corridor were associated with a rough conflict with understudies from the Mensah Sarbah Hall on August 5, 2022.
"The Hall Master and Senior Tutor of Commonwealth Hall have not displayed adequate eagerness and capacity to consider understudies of the lobby responsible for their activities in the new vicious conflicts.
"These officials ought to, in this manner, in the meantime, be feeling better of their obligations while the board works with the security administrations to research the conflicts and work towards tracking down enduring answers for the strains between understudies of the two corridors," portions of an assertion gave by the administration of the college read.
Following the declaration of the choice by the administration of the University of Ghana, understudy inhabitants of the Commonwealth Hall on Tuesday left on a dissent against the suspensions.
