A court has dismissed a case brought against the University of Ghana (UG) by some 130 ‘unhappy’ parents of pupils at the University of Ghana Basic School.
This was after the parents sued the university for the current road user restrictions.
[contextly_sidebar id=”r6SB17vG73hljwGCTmbl4LE7UyRbwVsm”]The university said: “It cannot support academic work with the needed environment when 16,000 vehicles travel through its Legon campus every day.”
It said the situation was “creating significant congestion at crucial times as well as posing safety and security challenges for members of the university community, especially our students.’’
The parents who take their wards to the basic school situated on campus, were unhappy about the directive.
Some of them created chaotic scenes by blocking the GIMPA link access route to the university campus.
The parents subsequently sought a perpetual injunction against the university from continuing with the ongoing restrictions.
A Human Rights Court on September 2 after hearing the submissions by counsels for the parents and the university dismissed the application to bring an end to the matter in its current form.
