Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to kindly request that the University of Guyana, be befitted with additional lights especially along the catwalk at nights which is obliquely opposite the Department of Law. As a current student of Guyana’s premier tertiary institution, it would be remiss of me to not recognize the exemplary leadership of the university’s Vice Chancellor Dr. Paloma Mohammed- Martin whom I hold in high esteem. Nevertheless, Dr. Mohammed- Martin, I am kindly asking that you intervene in this matter and what could be done.
Every Thursday evening after lectures, my classmates and I have to endure and confront “this pitch of darkness”, of course doesn’t sit well for us since we are all concerned about our safety while on campus, awaiting transportation to take us to our respective homes. It was recommended by one of our lecturers that we be escorted off the campus with the aid of a security officer, to disabuse our fears and anxiety. This is laudable, but having more lights to illuminate the campus would be better for us since our safety is paramount in case of any eventualities “God forbid”. As I took the time from my busy schedule to address this issue I do anticipate that it will be treated with great consideration.
Sincerely,
(Name and Address Withheld)
