Takoradi, Jan. 12, GNA – Belongings of students of the Ghana Secondary Technical School (GSTS) have been quarantined to undergo fumigation as part of an exercise to rid the school of bed bugs.The exercise, sponsored by the Giants Association (the alumni of the school), is to ensure that the school is rid of the blood sucking insects.Mr Ralph Menz, Secretary of the Association, said the Giants Association worldwide had contributed over GHC 55000 to enable Jem Intercontinental Services Limited undertake a one week fumigation exercise in and around the school compound.Mr Emmanuel Hazel, lead fumigator, attributed the situation to over population of the school and bad sanitary conditions.

He called for an intensification of the inspection regime by house masters to ensure that students thoroughly clean and maintain a healthy environment in the school.Giant Ebo Simpson, Executive Member of the Association, said a team of engineers, planners and quantity surveyors have been dispatched to carry out structural integrity assessment plans for the school.He said the association is also helping the school to develop a master plan and this may call for the total demolition of some structures and renovations for others.
