Saboba EP SHS Students Sleep in Classrooms After Fire
A devastating fire at Saboba EP Senior High School (SHS) in the Northern Region of Ghana has left students displaced, forcing them to sleep in classrooms. The incident, which occurred on January 20, 2025, destroyed the boys’ dormitory, displacing many students and affecting their studies and comfort.

According to the Daily Guide, the fire outbreak began at midnight and spread rapidly, completely consuming the dormitory. Fortunately, there were no casualties, but the students lost essential belongings, including books, uniforms, and personal effects. As a temporary measure, Saboba EP SHS students now sleep in classrooms, which has become a challenge for their academic focus and well-being.

The headmaster has called for urgent assistance from the government and NGOs to rebuild the dormitory. Preliminary investigations suggest the fire was caused by an electrical fault, raising concerns about infrastructure maintenance in schools.

This unfortunate situation highlights the need for support for Saboba EP SHS students, who are still recovering from the aftermath of the fire. Urgent intervention is required to restore normalcy and ensure a safe and conducive learning environment.
