students of UPSA threaten to close down fuel station near school

Students of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) are protesting against the siting of a SEL filling station behind their school and have vowed to close it down on their own if prompt measures are not taken to close it.

“We the Students’ Representative Council of the UPSA, are unequivocally protesting against the siting and operation of the fuel station in question, which is too close to the University community,” the statement said.

It noted that the SEL fuel station is 5 meters behind a mosque and 3 meters adjacent to a 3000-seater capacity auditorium all under construction for the school.

In the wake of gas/fuel explosions and fire outbreaks, it feared the lives of the nearly 3000 students who use the school’s walkway 3 meters away from the fuel station are in danger.

The Environmental Protection Agency EPA, requires fuel service stations to cite fuel pumps at a minimum of 30 meters away from adjoining residential buildings.

But addressing a press conference yesterday, the student leaders accused the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of failing to hold the owners of the Strategic Energy Limited (SEL) to this requirement.

“Regrettably, the EPA has still not responded to the school’s request [why the school was exempted from stakeholder consultations with residents in the area].

Together with other student bodies like the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), Ghana Union of Professional Students (GUPS) , among others, they threatened to close down the facility on their own, if their calls for it to be decommissioned fall on deaf ears.

“We are sending this strong signal today that if measures are not taken to close down the fuel station, the leadership will organize the students to picket at the EPA, NPA and the La-Nkwantanan Madina Municipality. We will also embark on several demonstrations to register our protests until the various authorities at the EPA and NPA take the necessary action to save our lives. We may be forced to defend ourselves by closing down the fuel station on our own” Sydney Quartey the SRC President warned.

But speaking to Citi News the Managing Director of Strategic Energy Limited (SEL) Johnny Blagogee argued that he has not broken any regulations adding the facility meets all international safety regulations.

Dr Gyampo talks about the Atomic junction Gas explosion

Dr. Ransford Gyampo is a Research Fellow at the Governance Unit of the Institute of Economic Affairs.
He is also the Coordinator of the Institute of Economic Affairs-Ghana Political Parties Programme (IEA-GPPP) – a programme that brings together the four main Political Parties with representation in Ghana’s Parliament to discuss issues of national importance in an a-political manner and to propose practical solutions to them.
His research interest lies in the area of Governance, Democracy, Human Rights and Development. 

And this was his reactions to the Atomic Gas explosion which happened yesterday.

He said and i quote"
Yesterday, I drove to the mountains to visit some Chiefs who are my friends and to wish them well as they were celebrating their festival.

On my return back, I started receiving calls about the explosion from well wishers. I actually drove closer to the scene to watch what was happening.

As I watched the event and pandemonium I realized that people were running without knowing where they were going.

Many people came out of their homes and started fleeing. Watching them closely I noticed something amazing.

None of them carried a television or a radio or a suitcase of clothes. All these things were useless to them. All that mattered was their lives.

Their  homes and all their property were all of a sudden USELESS!

No one liked atomic Junction fire. Surely no one will like hell fire.

Indeed. The only thing of any value is a soul. At the end of it all, when things get critical, every soul wants to be saved.

Guys, our "tobey tobey" won't be needed again at one point. I actually saw how vehicles were running over human beings who were running for their lives.

I actually saw a woman who got out of her car and left her kids in it. She did this impulsively without knowing what she had done to her kids.

Politics and insults and all those we do, won't matter one day.

Indeed, the world would end one day. How prepared are we? May God be our helper
