Hostel management of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) has sent a stern notice to residents over the use of video games console.

In the notice on March 30, the management said although video games were banned in students’ rooms some had managed to smuggle them in.

“It has come to the notice of Hostel Management that some resident students brought video game consoles to the Hostel which are prohibited,” the notice read.

To that effect, the notice warned that from Monday, April 3, any gaming console found in student rooms would be seized.

 “This notice comes to inform all resident students that from Monday, 3rd April 2023, any video game console found in any room in the hostel will be confiscated,” the notice stated.

It has been over 24 hours since the directive kicked in but it is unclear yet how implementation has gone so far.
