The Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr Clement Apaak, shared a video alleged to be a shot of a toilet facility of Ghana Senior High School (GHANASCO) in Tamale turned into a sleeping place for students.
The said video showed student mattresses, chop boxes, bags and other student materials in the toilet compartment of a washroom.
Some of the materials and the students could also be seen in the hallway of the washroom.
A form one student by name Godlove, in another video shared by the MP, confirmed that he is one of the students sleeping in the toilet-turned-dormitory because of the shortage of accommodation facilities for students.
He said that the students have now resorted to open defecation which has led to a health crisis in the school with students always falling sick.
“Since we come as year one’s, we have never been to a toilet to ease ourselves. Every time open defecation and people passing by see us.
“… we just sit at the back here to eat and the flies (from where we ease ourselves) will be disturbing us. Sometimes when the run is too much it blows the breeze here and the scent is unbearable.
“As am standing here, I was sick just last Friday … I was diagnosed with typhoid and malaria,” he narrated.
Godlove pleaded with authorities to come to their aid by helping put up structures they can at least use as toilets.
It's only under this reckless and corrupt NADAA/Bawumia NPP gov't that toilets are converted to accommodate students in a secondary school. I just got the video below, one of three clips, from GHANASCO in Tamale. Unthinkable, most shocking. NADAA must bow his head in shame. pic.twitter.com/3OCTcJahHe

A student speaks to the convertion of what should be a toilet into a dorm due to inadequate accommodation and the potential health effects. I've since received information that this shocking situation is not limited to only GHANASCO. I will share clips when I receive them. pic.twitter.com/REvoSXUDeX
