The Headmaster of Cape Coast-based St Augustine’s College has assured parents and all stakeholders that the school has enough food to feed all students.
He said this in reaction to media reports that the College has experienced shortage of food lately.
“This is to clarify that, contrary to recent reports suggesting a shortage of food items at St. Augustine’s College, Cape Coast, the school has adequate and sufficient supply of all food items,” Rev Father Godfred Appiah wrote in a letter dated November 23.
He added that “On the 4th, 9th ,13th, 19th and 21st of November, the College took delivery of various food items from the National Buffer Stock Company, ensuring a well-stocked inventory in its warehouse. Given this substantial supply within the past weeks, claims that students are not being fed properly due to the lack of food are both unfounded and untrue.”
“It is also worth noting that even during the strike by members of the Teachers and Educational Workers Union (TEWU), the kitchen staff demonstrated commendable dedication by continuing to prepare meals for the students,” Father Appiah further stated
He assured all stakeholders of their “commitment to transparency and invite anyone with concerns or to visit the school for firsthand information regarding the food situation.”
