"...has been approved by the academic board and it is required as a student if you are an undergraduate student you must register for your courses and pay 70% of your fees, for postgraduate you are to pay 60% of your fees."
He explained that some students have been playing games with the school and using their fees for betting, buying cars for Uber, and setting up bakeries without paying their fees.
He said over the years some students who were pardoned to be in school completed without paying their fees.
Dr. Daniel Norris Bekoe stated that 92% of the student population are able to meet the deadline and are in good standing.
The school this year alone is in arrears of fees of 55 million Ghana Cedis.
