Non-functioning streetlights: UPSA students assured of safety

The University of Professional Studies, UPSA, is implementing measures to ensure the safety of its students following reports of increasing incidents of robberies around its campus, attributed to the lack of functioning streetlights causing total darkness at night.

Concerns have been raised by students and residents alike about the heightened security threat posed by the non-availability of adequate lighting in the area.

In response to the security challenges, the Dean of Graduate Studies at UPSA, Samuel Antwi, disclosed that discussions have been held with the police to enhance safety along the stretch.

He added that currently, there are police patrols in place, however, the length of the stretch poses challenges for effective surveillance.

“For the safety of students we’ve had discussions with the IGP, he’s even a former student of this university so he really has this school at heart

He stayed there between 11 pm and 1 am and currently, there are police patrols, just that the stretch is a little bit long.”

No spams, just the stories that truly matter
