Students of Ghana Secondary School (Ghanasco) and Vittin Secondary Technical in the Tamale South constituency of the Northern region are threatening to demonstrate against the Ghana Water Company over their perennial water problems.
Adom News’ Illiasu Abdul Rauf who visited the school reported that, the students have resorted to fetching water from a stagnant pond they refer to as a “dam” for both domestic use.
Running water carries mud and other debris including human excreta into the stream especially when it rains as some residents attend nature’s call openly nearby. But the students have no option.
Some of the students who expressed worry said they have been recording an upsurge in skin and water-borne diseases especially cholera after drinking the polluted water.
They are therefore appealing to authorities to come to their aid and supply them with good water.
