The decision was announced in an urgent notice issued by the university's Academic Affairs Directorate as worsening weather conditions created safety concerns for students and staff. University authorities advised students to remain indoors and avoid any unnecessary movement until conditions improve.
According to the statement, students currently in their halls of residence, homes, or other locations should stay where they are and not attempt to travel to campus. The university explained that flooded roads and difficult weather conditions pose significant risks to commuters.
Management emphasized that the safety and well-being of students remain the institution's top priority. As a result, all academic activities and lectures have been put on hold until further notice while authorities continue to assess the situation.
The flooding followed hours of intense rainfall that affected many communities across the capital, causing traffic disruptions, submerged roads, and challenges for residents trying to move around the city. Emergency agencies have been monitoring developments and responding to incidents in affected areas.
University officials urged students to pay close attention to updates from the institution and follow all safety directives. They also encouraged members of the university community to prioritize their personal safety and avoid flood-prone locations until the weather improves.
The suspension of lectures highlights the seriousness of the flooding situation currently affecting Accra. With weather conditions still uncertain, authorities are expected to continue monitoring developments before announcing when normal academic activities can resume.
Students and staff have been assured that further information regarding lectures and academic schedules will be communicated through official university channels once conditions become safe again.
