He has called for a committee to assess accommodation costs and advise Finance Minister Dr Cassiel Ato Forson on an appropriate annual adjustment under the Fees and Charges Act. The proposed committee would be tasked with determining a suitable benchmark for annual increases, aiming to curb excessive charges and provide predictability for students.",
