In a commendable display of compassion and leadership, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, together with members of his entourage, has presented substantial relief items to students of the Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) following devastating floods that struck parts of the institution on June 29, 2026. The donation aims to provide immediate support to students whose academic materials, personal belongings, and living conditions were severely impacted by the heavy rains and subsequent flooding. University officials and student representatives received the items with gratitude during a brief ceremony held at the campus.

The relief package included essential supplies such as mattresses, clothing, foodstuffs, cleaning materials, and educational resources to help restore normalcy for the affected students. Dr. Bawumia emphasized the importance of swift intervention in times of disaster, noting that education remains a critical pillar for national development and must not be derailed by natural calamities. He assured the university community of continued support from his office and called on other stakeholders to join efforts in building resilience against future flooding events in educational institutions.

The floods on June 29, 2026, caused significant damage to several sections of the GCTU campus, disrupting lectures and forcing many students into temporary accommodation. University authorities have been working round the clock to assess damages and implement recovery measures. Students expressed relief and appreciation for the timely gesture, highlighting how the donation would alleviate immediate hardships and allow them to refocus on their studies in technology and communication fields.

This act of generosity underscores Dr. Bawumia’s commitment to youth empowerment and community welfare. As Ghana continues to grapple with climate-related challenges, such initiatives highlight the role of public figures in fostering hope and practical solutions for vulnerable student populations. The university management has pledged to ensure equitable distribution of the items while reinforcing campus infrastructure to mitigate future risks.
