Rats, bats, and leaky rooftops

A health and safety audit of the University of Guyana (UG) has found serious infrastructural deficiencies as well as infestations of rodents, bats and insects which currently pose risks to both the staff and students of the institution.

This was revealed to Stabroek News last week by head of the University of Guyana Senior Staff Association (UGSSA) Jewel Thomas.

Thomas explained that a document was prepared by the UGSSA, the University of Guyana Workers Union and the University of Guyana Students’ Society titled, “Rescuing the University of Guyana” that covered issues that needed attention as it relates to UG’s infrastructure and services.
