The University of Ghana has started charging tolls from drivers who use the campus roads despite concerns about its legality.
The situation has led to massive traffic at the main entrance of the University.
In an interview with Citi News, President of the Students Representative Council (SRC), Eric Edem Agbana said the situation is chaotic and abysmal.
�If you come to the University of Ghana campus now, the traffic situation that is here is very bad; because the toll that is located around the ��Okponglo�� entrance [Main gate] is causing massive traffic because the traffic light can give you a green signal but because of the way and manner in which they are collecting the tolls, they have blocked the road���
He further stated that �the structures are not ready and because the structures are not ready you have some young people lined up on the streets holding tickets and they are selling, before you can enter he the campus.��
Mr. Edem Agbana questioned how drivers are to know the authenticity of the tickets. ��Where lies even accountability, what is the assurance that people are not even duplicating tickets and they are giving out; this thing is not even done properly, it is so abysmal.��
The University of Ghana announced that effective Febraury 1, 2014 ��Private vehicles are to pay 1 Ghana Cedi while taxis and commercial vehicles will pay 2 Ghana Cedis.
