Students at Odorgonno Senior High School have expressed their growing frustration by staging a protest on the busy Awoshie-Anyaa road. Their demonstration was sparked by the urgent need for action regarding a malfunctioning traffic light outside their school, which has been the cause of frequent accidents and severe traffic congestion in the area.
The protest followed the tragic death of a school security guard in a hit-and-run incident that occurred last Thursday. This heartbreaking event has intensified concerns about the safety of students and others who navigate the busy road daily.
The students highlighted the dangers posed by the faulty traffic light and the lack of a pedestrian footbridge, which has made crossing the road an increasingly perilous task. With no proper traffic control measures in place, the students feel their lives are constantly at risk.
In their protest, the students have called on local authorities to address these safety issues urgently. They are demanding that the traffic light be fixed immediately and that a pedestrian footbridge be built to provide a safer way for students to cross the road.
Blogger Sika Official shared the details of the protest on X, emphasizing the students’ call for swift action to prevent further tragedies and ensure the safety of everyone in the area. The protest reflects a broader frustration with the lack of attention to the safety concerns of students, who have been enduring hazardous conditions for far too long.
