The students were seen in the trending video complaining about a pack of kenkey and fish they were served.

According to the voiceover accompanying the video, the students were supposed to be given a ball of Kenkey with fried fish and sardines.

But the individual tasked with that responsibility shortchanged them by serving only Kenkey with fish head and pepper.

They accused the said individual, whose name was not given, of pocketing a chunk of the budget allocated for the food.

The video posted on TikTok by @nanaama947 captured the students showing the food that they were served to the cameras while lamenting over its quality.

"They have pocketed the money Asamoah Gyan gave for food. Look at the food we have been served. Why do you people mistreat us painfully like that," a lady's voice was heard saying.
