The Ghana Education Service has promised prompt action over the lack of electricity and water at Funsi Senior High School, after singer Wiyaala appealed to President John Mahama to intervene.

It said it would join the school’s managers, the responsible state bodies and other partners to review the situation and "facilitate the prompt resolution of the issues identified".

The Service said the school’s running-cost funds were released well ahead of the video, and urged the school heads to act on the students’ concerns.

Students were urged to channel grievances through the school’s management structures so that such issues receive the necessary attention.

Wiyaala, who comes from Funsi, visited the school after the students demonstrated.

In a caption on the video she posted on her verified Facebook page, quoted by Ghanamotion, she wrote: "Urgent video of the day! Funsi Senior High School needs all the help they can get please".

She added: "do something! For the students."

Adomonline reported that the footage shows the school’s Boyle Dormitory, where students say there has been no electricity for three to four years, and pupils waiting hours at a pipe for water to flow.

During the visit the Funsi Fire Service delivered water fetched from a dam, which was not suitable for drinking.

She defended the students’ protest as peaceful, saying they were demanding basic necessities, not attacking teachers or destroying property.

The musician asked President Mahama to step in, alongside Dr Godfred Seidu Jasaw, the area’s Member of Parliament, and District Chief Executive Adamu Shaibu.

She said the pupils need secure, comfortable surroundings for learning and daily life.
