UPSA students lament high fees at private hostels, call for government intervention

Students living around the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA), are expressing concern over the rising cost of accommodation, particularly at private hostels, and are calling on the government to intervene to make housing more affordable.

The proposed committee is expected to look into the rising accommodation charges and explore possible measures to address concerns surrounding hostel fees, particularly in the private hostel sector.

The rising cost of accommodation has become a major concern for students, many of whom struggle to balance hostel fees with other academic and living expenses.
