This incident comes just 10 days after another fire affected a three-story accommodation facility, “Father Hostel,” at KNUST, which destroyed at least nine rooms and impacted 22 students and three teaching assistants. The outgoing Yvonne-Nkay-led SRC administration provided relief items and temporary accommodation for the affected individuals.
