With the SRC being a major stakeholder in the project, it is possible for students to have a say when it comes to the fees. Is this just to persuade students to add their voice? Students have been far too quiet about pressing accommodation issues at the University and this might just be a lifeline.
Students do play an important role when it comes to issues such as accommodation. The more students come out to talk, the stronger their voice.
The project is estimated to cost between GHC 45 – 50 million according to the President and the blueprint of the hostel is ready. There are many real estate companies in Ghana that have a great track record in constructing buildings.
