The Metropolitan Chief Executive (MCE) of Kumasi, Richard Ofori-Agyeman Boadi, has issued a firm directive for the immediate eviction of all encroachers occupying public school lands across the city.
His directive follows a recent inspection tour of several basic schools within the metropolis, which uncovered widespread encroachment for activities unrelated to education.
These include makeshift shelters, trading posts, mechanic workshops, drug-peddling spots, and unauthorised religious gatherings.
According to the Mayor, such activities pose significant threats to the safety and well-being of schoolchildren and teachers.
