In a Facebook post on Monday, April 27, Awuku highlighted growing concerns over erratic electricity supply, noting that it is disrupting studies and increasing anxiety among candidates sitting for the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) and those preparing for the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE). He described the return of frequent outages as troubling, emphasizing that this is a crucial academic period for students. According to him, unreliable power is making it difficult for learners to focus, particularly during evening revision hours. Awuku stressed that while exams will proceed regardless, students deserve a stable and supportive environment to prepare effectively. He called on authorities to act swiftly, stating that ensuring consistent electricity during this time is the least that can be done. Beyond education, he noted that the situation is also affecting businesses, entrepreneurs, and small-scale workers, with frustration mounting across the country. His remarks come amid renewed reports of intermittent power supply—often referred to as “dumsor”—a recurring issue that has historically disrupted homes, businesses, and schools. Stakeholders in the education sector and parents have long warned that such instability during exam periods places undue pressure on candidates. Awuku’s appeal adds to increasing public calls for a lasting solution, especially as thousands of students prepare for key national examinations in the weeks ahead. “Music Is a Serious Business” — Sarkodie Fires Back at Critics Over Industry Respect One Mistake Can Kill Many: Road Safety Advocate Urges Drivers to Stay Alert WAEC Ramps Up Fight Against Exam Leakages, Urges Strong Public Support Ahead of BECE Gov’t Warns Against Mali Travel After Deadly Terror Attacks, Condemns Killing of Defence Chief Driver Injured in Convoy Crash Involving NPP National Treasurer Akosombo Dam Shut Down After Massive GRIDCo Substation Fire Kumasi: Newborn Baby Found Abandoned in Bush at Dechimso-Hafia PIWAK CEO Dr. Prince Nelson Mortoti Wins 2025 Most Influential Natural Health Entrepreneur Award Happy Birthday to Dr. Lawson Kyei Manu, CEO of Lawson Limited Company Oil Prices Surge as US–Iran Peace Talks Stall Again Police Arrest Three in Akatsi Robbery Crackdown, Weapons Recovered “I Hold Nothing Against Mary Awusi; She Has Made Me and Church of Pentecost More Popular” – Apostle Nyamekye Kumasi: Police Arrest Suspect Over Killing of Indian National as IGP Deploys Special Task Force Mali Defence Minister Sadio Camara Killed in Coordinated Nationwide Military Attacks Two Killed as Passenger Bus Overturns in Oti Region Crash Kumasi: ECG Engineers Battle Python Invasion to Restore Power at Ahodwo GRIDCo CEO Asked to Step Aside as Akosombo Fire Probe Deepens; ECG Ashanti Leadership Reshuffled Two Akosombo Generating Units Restored as Power Recovery Gains Momentum – Jinapor
