The students complained bitterly about the unhealthy and insufficient food they are fed on a daily basis.

The amount of food was disproportionate to the number of students at the table.

The students said the school's management has been feeding them porridge without sugar, milk, and bread.

The President of the Student's Representative Council (SRC), Freeman Zokha, in an interview with Accra-based Citi FM, said GH¢51 has been taken off their monthly allowances to augment the allocated feeding grants."

"Students are not happy with their breakfast, nothing is being added. We have been given white porridge without sugar, bread, or groundnut since the beginning of the year. The porridge is sometimes fermented. We protested on Tuesday morning against the poor foods we are being fed with. We are told feeding grants have not been paid, but we know it has been paid.

"The school management said they don’t take information from students when we made complaints to them. The protest was not only about the food, lights at the ladies' dormitories had been disconnected. We are going through a lot," he added.
