Falling ECG pole puts Biakoye Community Senior High School in danger

Students and teachers of Bialoye Community Senior High School
at Nkonya Wurupong are expressing deep concern over their safety
following the dangerous state of an electricity pole connected to
the school.

The pole, belonging to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), has
developed a weak base and is leaning precariously. Loose wires
dangle from it, heightening fears that it could collapse at any
moment, sparking electrocution or fire.

According to the school community, the situation has lingered for some time and becomes
especially alarming whenever it rains or strong winds sweep through the area. Both students and
nearby residents regard the pole as a ticking time bomb that requires immediate intervention.

Reports suggest that complaints have already been lodged with the ECG, but no action has yet
been taken to replace the damaged pole. Community members are therefore appealing to the company to act swiftly before the situation results in disaster.
