No food shortage at St. Augustine’s College — Management
Management of St. Augustine’s College, Cape Coast, has debunked reports suggesting a food shortage on campus.
A statement signed by the headmaster, Rev. Fr. Patrick Godfred Appiah (PhD.), indicated that the reports are false.
The school stated that contrary to claims, it took delivery of various food items from the National Buffer Stock Company on November 4, 9, 13, 19, and 21, respectively.
“These claims that students are not being fed properly due to a lack of food are both unfounded and untrue,” excerpts of the statement read.
He acknowledged the government’s critical support under the Free SHS policy, which has been instrumental in maintaining smooth operations.
The headmaster also commended the efforts of the kitchen staff, who worked tirelessly to prepare meals for students during the recent strike by the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU).
“Their dedication ensured that students’ meals were not disrupted despite the challenges posed by the industrial action,” he commended.
Rev. Fr. Appiah further expressed gratitude to the Central Regional Director of Education, who visited the school to motivate the matron and her team during the industrial action.
