If goings-on at the premier film institute of the state, National Film and Television Institute (NAFTI), were transformed into visuals for Ghanaians to watch, viewers would throw up at the horrid rots perpetuated by a cabal in the state institution.
Days of painstaking investigations conducted by The Crusading Guide into activities at the institute has revealed that old lecturers who have retired from service and were supposed to be in their respective homes and enjoying their pension benefits are still perching at the Institute, creating so much inconveniences for the new lecturers (if any).
According to sources the Director of the institution, Mr. Martin Lou together with two other lecturers (names withheld for now) should have retired over five years ago, but is still hovering around the office not ready to make way for a new director.
Findings have revealed that a Toyota Hiace vehicle with registration number: GV 180Y and a Green Land Cruiser for the school are being used to carry goats and grasses belonging to the director to and fro.
Mad. Ramatu Daadzi, the Animation Lecturer at the School sources say, has become a law unto herself that nobody dare speaks back at, and that any student who dare talked back at her was shown the exit point (more details on this story later).
Further findings have further revealed that some rooms of the student�s hostel have been rented out to some individuals working with some banks in Accra.
One Mr. Mensah, the Porter of the institution in charge of the hostel stands accused of renting the hostel rooms to non-students.
Students who have been expelled from the school sources say, are treated like common criminals with their photographs posted on any available space all around the School. Checks on the NAFTI campus revealed one Herman Hesse, a level 200 student had his pictures posted all over the school.
His offence according to sources was that he talked back at the �almighty� Ramatu. According to administrative documents Hesse�s offence is �non expression of decorum.
Frantic efforts to reach the Director of the institute for official response however hit a snag. When newsmen got to the school at around 2.00pm, the Dean of Studies, Madam Vincentia Acquetey told newsmen that she would have loved to talk but was attending very important meeting and could therefore not speak to the allegations.
Madam Ramatu when reached on phone to react to the allegations against her directed the reporter to the management of the school.
She also responded �how did you get my number, well I am not authorized to talk on the issue. You can talk to management on it.�
When newsmen caught up with Mr Mensah he retorted �my brother you know I am only a worker here and I can only talk when I have been authorized to do so, so please talk to the director because there are a lot to that.�
