Please concentrate on your academic activities rather than malls.

I think the school is moving to a new site,I believe around the Accra/Nsawam road where I think they are building the mall.

Please don't misinform. The school is not moving to a new site, do you know how much it would cost to relocate an institution as big as Accra Poly? The mall being built on the Accra - Nsawam road is already close to completion and is a private venture.

Check to see if the school has no new site before you display your ignorance.

If the School has enough cash for a mall then why can't it be used to beef up academic work?? Accra poly is surrounded by Malls and shopping centres, and Markets and have they considered the number of people who might be coming to shop there?? The traffic situation around tema station that may worsen? Or the new security measures and traffic control that must be put in place by both MTTU and the school itself that may cost more money to both State and school?? The school authority should not think short term but think on these long term problems. But I know they won't listen to the students and go ahead just like this Mahama govt. Is doing.

Yaw failing to plan effectively is, tantamount to planing to fail, Accra is already choked with filth, organised crime and erratic power supply.

Instead of working out sustainable community cohesion plans for the city in a convenient way, all Ghanaian bonkers can think of are, exploitative means of making fewer people convenient.

May our institutions research and find innovative ways of making solar energy affordable? =D AMEN

How can the school run this mall? It would be better to use the money to train your science students to repair mobile phones. That would bring in far more money than going to buy and sell sardines.

I took my dad to the Polytechnic mall the other day to buy some new shoes. We decided to
grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting
next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green,
red, orange, and blue. My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look
and find him staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he
sarcastically asked, 'What's the matter Old man, never done anything wild in
your life?' Knowing my dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not
choke on his response; knowing he would have a good one. And in classic
style he did not bat an eye in his response, "Got drunk once and had sex
with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."

This comes under "Revenue Generation and Diversification" in an institution's attempt to raise money to counter financial constraints which affect all tertiary institutions.
An example from the US, "Cerritos College in California has extended a forty-year lease to a developer to construct and manage an assisted living facility on a parcel of land adjacent to the college and "that Cerritos not only receives a revenue stream from this venture but has also gained an on-campus laboratory in which students in its nursing, physical therapy, cosmetology, and culinary arts programs can gain experience", (Cohen et al, 2014, p. 170).
Please spend time educating the students on this. They would understand.

So then why don't invest in a small hospital/urgent care/ same day clinic instead of a mall? After all we only have Ridge hospital in the area. As you said the folk at Cerritos invested in a old peoples home which in addition to the revenues from the home, the students use the facilities for education of the students. What do the students gain from a mall, considering all the stores and markets in the area already?

What is the primary goal of the this institution? To educate students or to make money. And since when has Accra Poly seized to be a public institution. Somebody should lose his or her job for this nonsense.

Why misuse the land which will be needed for expansion when it is upgraded into a University? After all the site is in proximity to the shops and markets in the so-called shopping district so are the authorities in league with the hawkers to convert the place as an extension for the traders? Students need a quiet/serene environment for their studies and especially research!
