Professor Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, previously the Vice-Chancellor of Ghana Communication Technology University, has brought a legal challenge against his dismissal. He believes his termination was against the law.
A writ of summons was filed at the Accra High Court on March 4, 2026. This action marks the beginning of a court battle over his employment status.
The lawsuit names Ghana Communication Technology University as a defendant. It also includes Council Chairman Ing. Divine Kpetigo and Acting Pro Vice-Chancellor Prof. Ebenezer Malcalm.
The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission is also listed as a defendant in the court filing. The case proceeds under Suit Number GT/0487/2026.
Professor Afoakwa is seeking to overturn the decision to end his tenure as Vice-Chancellor.
The court filing details his claim that the dismissal was unlawful. This legal action will now determine the outcome of his employment dispute with the university.
The specific details of the alleged unlawful termination will be presented and examined within the court proceedings.
This case involves a senior academic leader and a public university, raising questions about employment procedures in higher education institutions.
