The KNUST-SRC wishes to inform all students of the positive outcome developed as a result of the logistics brought on board to stabilize the cost of hostel accommodation in and around campus Per our meeting and agreements with the hostel managements association on 5th February 2014, under the chairmanship of Rev. Dr. Owusu Biah, we have come to a stern consensus that the following charges within these ranges should be collected per the class (A or B) attached to them. 1. A Class A hostel (with generator, DSTV, security, inside bathroom , water, electricity, and tiles) with four (4) persons in a room ranges from GHS 600 to GHS 900 2. A Class A hostel (with generator, DSTV, security, inside bathroom , water, electricity, and tiles) with three (3) persons in a room ranges from GHS 900 to GHS 1200 3. A Class A hostel (with generator, DSTV, security, inside bathroom , water, electricity, and tiles) with four (2) persons in a room ranges from GHS 1000 to GHS 1500 4. A Class B hostel with four (4) persons in a room ranges from GHS 600 to GHS 750. 5. A Class B hostel with three (3) persons in a room ranges from GHS 750 to GHS 900. 6. A Class B hostel with two (2) persons in a room ranges from GHS 900 to GHS 1200. Nevertheless, we put the entire students on amber to scrutinize the market and be mindful of middle men whose prime objective may be to dupe students. Students are to ensure there is adequate and enhanced security in their various hostels. Further to our commemoration, we entreat students to enforce the hostel managers to abide by the charges and also desist from making payments to the hostels until they fully comply by the above charges. We need the total commitment and cooperation of all students. We as students must be prepared to go the extra mile to make this directive a reality. Thank you. Signed FUGAH CALEB (SRC President)
