University of Ghana authorities have explained that the students who complained about not being able to fill the risk assessment forms online had not yet registered for the 2014/2015 academic year.

Pro-Vice Chancellor, In-charge of Research, Innovation and Development, Prof. Gyapong indicated that every registered student with their ID cards as at Friday and beyond should be able to access the forms on the university’s website.

Some of the students, who reported to school Friday morning told Joy FM's Beatrice Adu, they had registered weeks ago, at a time there was no Ebola scare and they were yet to be informed of any such forms online.

But when they came on campus this morning and visited the school’s website, they could not locate the said forms.

A claim, Prof. Gyapong dismissed, explaining that only students who had registered could access the forms online.

Tertiary institutions in the country have been tasked by the Inter-ministerial Committee on Ebola to meet health requirements regarding the deadly disease, through which students would be protected.

Beatrice reported that management of the institute met to possibly address the issue.

Prof. Gyapong mentioned to Joy News Thursday evening that the university had developed an electronic risk assessment questionnaire to be used as part of the students’ registration process.

It is aimed at gathering information on potential carriers of the dreaded Ebola virus. Most of the foreign students are coming from Ebola hit countries like Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Nigeria.

He continued that the registration process would be captured directly to a database and so any potential carrier of the disease would easily be identified.

But the students mentioned they could not locate the forms online.

Some Sierra Leonean and Guinean nationals entering Ghana through the Burkina Faso border were turned away this week for failing to produce health certificates covering Ebola screening.

Three thousand cases and 1,500 deaths have been reported in five West African countries - Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea, Nigeria and Senegal.

The World Health Organization has predicted there would be 20,000 more cases in the next six months before it is brought under control.
