Welcome!

Welcome to the Achimota School Land Blog! This blog is a compilation of background information about Achimota School's land encroachment situation. It  provides links to articles, news reports, videos, legislative instruments, petitions, and other information pertaining to the Achimota School Land encroachment problem.

In 2010, we submitted a petition, signed by over 1300 Old Achimotans (alumni), and concerned Ghanaians and friends of Achimota School, to the late President John Evans Atta-Mills and requested that he take action to stop encroachment of the Achimota School land by developers and other parties. The encroachment and illegal construction activity continued.

Fast forward to 2015, the encroachment and illegal construction activity is so much worse than before! We are presenting another petition, signed by over 1500 Old Achimotans (alumni), and concerned Ghanaians and friends of Achimota School, to the Ghana Government. We reasonably expect that this time the Ghana Government will seriously consider the petition and take action to arrest the encroachment activity.

Please feel free to browse the blog to gain a better understanding of the land encroachment problem and its negative effect on the school's academic and student life, and sanitation and health situation.

Thank you for visiting the blog. Kindly share the blog link with others so that we can create awareness of this insidious problem, and put pressure on the Ghana Government to end this saga once and for all!
