KNUST warns reckless student drivers of arrests and disciplinary actions
The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has announced stricter measures to curb reckless driving and dangerous vehicle activities on campus.
Under the new directive, students caught engaging in dangerous driving, excessive speeding or unauthorised vehicle processions linked to student elections, celebrations or other activities will face disciplinary action.
The university has warned that vehicles involved in such activities will be impounded, while groups participating in dangerous driving or vehicle convoys could be arrested and handed over to the Ghana Police Service.
The move is aimed at improving road safety and maintaining order on the KNUST campus, particularly during periods of heightened student activity when vehicle processions and celebrations tend to increase.
KNUST already has regulations governing the use of vehicles on campus. Students and other vehicle owners are required to obtain and display valid KNUST car stickers when using university roads, with non-compliant vehicles subject to possible impoundment and other sanctions.
KNUST’s latest directive therefore signals a tougher approach to dangerous driving on campus, with particular attention being paid to activities involving groups of students and vehicle convoys.
The university has urged students to comply with its road-safety and vehicle-use regulations and avoid behaviour that could endanger other students, staff and members of the public.
