Some seniors at Abesim Senior High School have congratulated the government for undertaking nationwide fumigation and disinfection of all upper secondary schools targeting bedbugs and other insects.
The students expressed their appreciation when Zoomlion Ghana Limited deployed a team of sprinklers to disinfect Abesim SHS in the Sunyani Municipality of the Bono Region.
A senior, Daniel Yakah, lamented that insect infestation in the dorms has become one of the problems internal students face in many sophomores throughout the country.
Master Yaka thanked the Ghana Service for the exercise he believes will help improve academic work in schools that he wants a detailed plan to be put in place by the government as part of the measures to address the problem.
On the other hand, Rose Animah, joy was all she could express, as she couldn’t sleep when she sees a bed bug.
He added that the insect bite distracts students from serious academic work as affected students lose focus during school hours.
The principal at Abesim Senior High School urged the government “not to stop here because many of the students get sick and if this affects their health, academic work definitely becomes a problem.”
The government, through the Ghana Education Service, partnered with the waste management company Zoomlion Ghana Limited to disinfect all high schools across the country to eliminate bedbugs, insects, and reptiles in schools.
On Monday May 11, 2020, Zoomlion Ghana Limited began the fumigation exercise in the Bono region, where 400 sprayers were deployed in various schools.
The company has disinfected schools in the Ashanti, Greater Accra, Central, West and North Western regions.
