A major confrontation is brewing between the University of Ghana and the Rent Commission over the proposed 26% increase in hostel fees.
Acting Rent Commissioner Frederick Kupuku has issued a stern warning to the University to suspend the planned increment or risk legal action, insisting that no institution is above the laws of the country.
He said the Commission was seeking legal advice from the Attorney-General on possible steps to secure an injunction against the proposed increase.
The development comes as students of the University of Ghana prepare to hit the streets on Friday in a massive protest to demand an immediate reversal of the proposed increment, which they describe as the commercialisation of student accommodation on campus.
