Professor Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa has filed a lawsuit. He is challenging his alleged illegal removal as Vice-Chancellor of Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU).
The legal challenge was brought before the court on Tuesday. This follows actions by the Chairman of the GCTU Governing Council and other members of the council.
Professor Afoakwa stated that his appointment was unlawfully terminated. He has served as Vice-Chancellor since March 2021. The dispute centers on governance at the university.
Details of the court filing were not immediately available. The Judicial Service is handling the case.
The removal attempt has created tension at the GCTU campus. Students and staff are reportedly concerned about the situation.
