Management and the Old Students Association of Ghana Senior High School in Tamale have expressed their disappointment towards the recent viral video that captured some students of the school using the toilet facility for accommodation, stating that it was a mark of irresponsible journalism.
The Northern Region Minister, Shani Alhassan Shaibu, who is an old student of the school, affirmed that he used the said converted facility during his days as a student of the school.
According to him, when the students vacate and leave school, they keep their boxes in those cubicles, and when they return, they pick them up and use them again.
Moreover, the school’s management and the Association of the school denied converting the said toilet facilities into accommodation for use by the students, emphasizing that they have enough dormitory accommodation.
The Senior Housemaster, Sayibu Fuseini, quizzed, “Why will we convert toilet facilities into accommodation when we have excess space?”
“It is essential to investigate and report the truth and avoid sensationalizing false information to avoid creating panic and chaos”, he stated
The management and old students of the Ghana Senior High School urge journalists to uphold journalistic ethics by investigating and presenting factual information to the public.
