Accra, Sept. 5, GNA – The Management of the
Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) on Thursday
reiterated its commitment to implementing the Committee’s recommendations on
halls conversion.

A statement issued by the University and copied
to the Ghana News Agency said Management had taken notice of the concerns
expressed by the various Alumni groups concerning the conversion of Unity,
Africa and University halls from single sex to mixed halls.

“We wish to reiterate that we have always
been sensitive to these concerns and are committed to addressing same,” it
said.

It may be recalled that following the
disturbances on the University Campus last year, which led to its brief
closure, the Chancellor, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, set up a committee to
investigate the disturbances which, among others, were thought to have been
precipitated by the conversion of the halls.

“The Committee’s report is currently being
studied by the Chancellor and Management awaits same for due implementation of
the recommendations thereof.”

“We, in the circumstances, wish to reiterate
Management’s commitment to implementing the recommendations of the Committee”.

In the meantime, Management urged all
concerned parties to exercise the utmost restraint to allow peace to prevail,
particularly in the interest of academic work and activities of the University
in general.
