General News of Monday, 5 January 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comA petitioner has raised serious concerns over the handling of an investigation into the academic qualifications of the Vice-Chancellor of Kumasi Technical University (KsTU), accusing the University Council of procedural lapses, lack of transparency and failure to uphold established governance standards. He further criticised the decision to allow the vice-chancellor to remain in office while investigations are ongoing, noting that the allegation under review relates directly to academic credibility. The petitioner also referenced directives issued by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), pointing out that some technical universities, including Takoradi Technical University, have complied fully with such directives, while KsTU’s posture, he argued, raises governance concerns. Copies of the letter were sent to the Minister of Education, the Director-General of GTEC, members of the KsTU Governing Council and various media houses. The University Council is yet to publicly respond to the concerns raised.
