A youth group called Nanung Youth for Development is demanding from the member of parliament for Nanumba North, Dominic Nitiwul and the Nanumba north district assembly an immediate completion of a stalled dining hall project for the Bimbilla senior high school.
The call follows the perennial flooding being experienced at the school after every downpour.
In a two minutes video, the students were seen struggling to serve their food in the flooded water.
The kitchen was not spared.
The leader of the group, Jacob Kpebu described the situation in the school as unhygienic and pathetic.
The group accused the member of parliament, Dominic Nitiwul and the Nanumba north district assembly of neglecting a dining hall facility started in 2013.
As at the time of filing this report, the school authorities have declined to comment on the situation.
The Bimbilla secondary school was founded in 1981 through the request of the Bimbilla Community and remains a second cycle co-educational institution located in the Nanumba North Municipality of the northern region of Ghana.
In the 21st century and a country that pride itself as the gateway to Africa, one would expect that the only second cycle educational institution in a district would not lack the basic needs, paramount to the wellbeing and welfare of the students.
But here we are, and for political expediency, we think that implementing a vague campaign promise of free SHS policy is better than fixing the infrastructure, teaching and learning material needs of educational institutions.
What shall it profit a man when he spent all his resources on paying tuition fees for a mass education programme when he has no place to accommodate, feed and teach the students?
