Students of the Presbyterian Nursing Training College in Bawku have been assured that efforts are underway to reopen the institution, which has been closed since November 21, 2024, due to security concerns.
In an interview with Citi News on April 8, 2025, the Upper Presbyterian Board Chairman, Rev. James K. Awuni, confirmed that the matter has been officially handed over to the Upper East Regional Minister and the Regional Police Commander, who are expected to make a decision soon.
Rev. Awuni emphasized that the reopening is being treated with urgency due to its significant security implications.
The announcement follows a peaceful protest by students on April 7, 2025, where they took to the streets of Bawku to demand the reopening of the school. Students expressed that the prolonged closure has severely impacted their academic progress and mental well-being.
