Ho Nurses Training College staff petition UHAS over facilities

ByEnigma 808

A temporary facility handover from 2012 turned into a permanent takeover, and Ho Nurses Training College staff have finally had enough of waiting politely.

UHAS is still occupying borrowed facilities

  • Staff petitioned the University of Health and Allied Sciences on March 10.
  • Architect Ruth Xorladem Ayitey accepted it for the Vice Chancellor.
  • Properties were loaned out when UHAS launched back in 2012.
  • The late President Atta Mills greenlit the temporary arrangement.

What UHAS is sitting on

  • Staff flats got flipped into revenue-generating student hostels.
  • Lecture halls built for the college remain under university control.
  • Three-bedroom bungalows meant for the principal were seized.
  • Offices and a library are still being held hostage.

College staff paying the price

  • James Awudi led a demonstration to spotlight the injustice.
  • Accommodation shortages are hammering staff welfare badly.
  • Teaching infrastructure has shrunk because of the occupation.
  • Over a decade of letters and petitions got zero results.

Staff want government intervention

  • Ghana’s government and the Volta Regional Minister got called on.
  • Health and Education Ministries need to step in here.
  • UHAS leadership should negotiate in genuine good faith.
  • The group insists this stays peaceful and dialogue-driven.
