The fire outbreak which occurred at the Father’s Hostel on the KNUST campus has affected 22 students and 3 Teaching Assistants.
The fire, which is suspected to have been caused by an electrical fault, broke out late on Thursday, July 25, destroying at least nine rooms.
The KNUST Management and the Student Representative Council (SRC) have stepped in to assist the affected individuals.
Temporary accommodations have been arranged at the SRC hostel, and the victims have been assured access to clothing, food items, and some financial support from the SRC.
Victims recounted that the fire started in a single room before it quickly spread throughout the building..
The prompt response from KNUST authorities aims to mitigate the impact on those affected as they work to recover from the incident.
Unfortunately, exams is set to commence in 10 days, further fueling the frustration of affected students.
