We would like to draw your attention to a critical matter regarding the safety and well-being of students at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW). The footbridges connecting the Evigya hostel, Arena, and waterworks suburbs to the north campus have deteriorated significantly, posing severe risks to student safety. We urge the SRC to take immediate action and renovate these footbridges to ensure the well-being of our student community.
Currently, the footbridge linking the Arena to the faculty has become a hazardous path for students traveling between their residences and the campus. The deteriorating condition of these footbridges has transformed them into potential death traps, especially during unfavorable weather conditions. It is of utmost importance to promptly address this pressing issue to prevent any accidents or injuries from occurring.
The significance of renovating these footbridges cannot be emphasized enough. Students heavily rely on these routes to attend lectures and engage in academic activities, making their safety a top priority. Neglecting the state of the footbridges not only endangers the lives of the students but also hampers their ability to effectively pursue their education. Thus, swift action is crucial to mitigate these risks and provide a safe passage for all students.
To ensure the safety of students using the footbridges, renovation is the key. The SRC must allocate resources to reinforce the structures, enhance pedestrian safety features, and implement regular maintenance checks to prevent further deterioration. By taking a comprehensive approach to the renovation process, the SRC can provide a sustainable solution that guarantees long-term student safety.
Furthermore, we would like to bring to your attention a petition from concerned UEW students led by BISMARK OPOKU, HPERS department LEVEL 200, serving as the Chief Petitioner. This petition highlights the urgent need for the renovation of the footbridges connecting the Evigya hostel, Arena, and waterworks suburbs to the north campus. The dilapidated state of these footbridges poses a significant risk to student safety and obstructs their academic pursuits. We sincerely hope that the Students' Representation Council will urgently address this matter by allocating the necessary resources to renovate the footbridges and ensure the well-being of the student community.
