Renovate Teiman Burger Town roads
Dear Editor
RESIDENTS of Teiman Burger Town are calling on government to urgently fix the Burger town roads that connects their community to the Teiman bus stop.
The road has become almost unmotorable—especially during the rainy season—making life increasingly difficult for both commuters and commercial drivers.
Whenever it rains, residents are left stranded at the Teiman bus stop as the road leading to Burger Town becomes heavily flooded and unmotorable. As a result, drivers refuse to ply the route for fear of damaging their vehicles.
For many residents, walking the long distances in the rain is not an option therefore they rely on ‘Okadas’ (motorbikes), which are more expensive and often unsafe.
The community is calling on government and local authorities to help address the poor road infrastructure, stressing that it’s not just an inconvenience, but a major barrier to daily life and economic productivity especially when it rains.
“We are tired. This road has been neglected for far too long. All we want is for the government to fix the road so we can live and work in peace,” said a resident.

Dear Editor,
THE Ghana Education Service (GES) has announced that most Senior High Schools (SHSs) will return to the single-track system by this month.
For many students and parents, this feels like a relief. But before we move on, we must take a moment to reflect.
The double-track system helped thousands of students get into schools. It gave hope to families who couldn’t afford private education. But it also came with challenges.
Some students had shorter terms, others had longer breaks. Teachers were stretched, and learning felt rushed. Many students felt left behind not because they didn’t try, but because the system didn’t give them enough time.
Now that we’re returning to single-track, let’s make sure we don’t repeat the mistakes of the past. We need more classrooms, better planning, and support for teachers.
Education is not just about getting into school. It’s about feeling safe and supported. Let’s build a system that gives every child a real chance.

Dear Editor
As it is critical for preserving our surroundings, there is the urgent need for increased awareness and action to protect Ghana’s environment and resources.
Ghana’s forest reserves, vast savannas and scenic coastlines serve as homes and habitats to a wide range of flora and fauna, including several endangered species.
Our vegetation and rich soil deposits provide the nation with food, plants and animal resources, which ensures food availability and accessibility for the population.
However, the country’s environment is facing numerous threats including deforestation, overexploitation, pollution, etc.
The importance of environmental conservation cannot be overstated; our natural resources are the backbone of our economy, playing a vital role in driving the country’s economic growth and development.
It is therefore critical that we take actions to protect them for our future generations.
There is the need for collective action to address environmental challenges and promote sustainable development.
Environmentalists, various organizations and private individuals must come on board to promote environmental conservation, through tree planting exercises, clean-up campaigns, and resource conservation practices.
These efforts, when carried out effectively, would create a long-lasting impact in protecting and conserving the country’s environment.
The Ghanaian government should also implement policies and conduct regular programmes aimed at promoting environmental conservation.
