The Ashanti Regional office of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) has fumigated dormitories of Mankranso Senior High School (SHS) following the infestation of bedbugs in many senior high schools in the region.
NADMO has since the beginning of April has embarked on a massive spraying exercise to control bedbugs’ infestation in some Senior High Schools in Ashanti Region.
The Headmaster of Makranso SHS Mr. John Asante Bawuah speaking in an interview with Abusua Fm’s Osei Kwadwo said the authorities of the schools received complaint last year September from the students about the infestation of bedbugs in their dormitories.
According to him, several efforts by the school authorities and NADMO officers in Ahafo Ano South District to control the bedbugs which have been in the school for a long time have proved futile.
Mr. John Asante Bawuah however called on NADMO to embark on regular fumigation exercise in the school to control the bedbugs.
The students said they always have sleepless night due to the infestation of bedbugs in their dormitories.
They added that the situation is affecting their academic performance.
Meanwhile the Ashanti Regional Coordinator of the National Disaster Management Organization (NADMO) Kwabena Nsekyire said his outfit will continue to embark on a massive spraying exercise to control bedbugs infestation in SHSs in the region.
