The Accra Academy Senior High School (SHS) is currently without power due to disconnection by the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) over alleged unpaid arrears.
Ahotor news’ checks show that as of 8:40 pm, the entire campus was in darkness, with students using torchlights in their classrooms for studying.
An anonymous teacher expressed deep concern over the situation, stating that it was an unprecedented event in his teaching career.
He revealed that he was informed by a colleague about the arrival of ECG officials at the school to disconnect the power due to outstanding debts.
He further stated that the power supply to the teachers, who were also on campus and used prepaid meters, was cut off.
The teacher noted that the ECG officials, who claimed to be from the head office, were adamant in their directive to disconnect the power, despite pleas and attempts at negotiation.
The teacher has urged the Electricity Company to restore the school’s power supply, citing concerns for the students’ safety and the potential impact on teaching and learning.
