Professor Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa, the Vice-Chancellor of Ghana Communication Technology University, has taken legal action against his employer. He filed a lawsuit at the High Court in Accra on March 4, 2026.
The professor claims his appointment has been unlawfully terminated. He is challenging the decision made by the university.
Ghana Communication Technology University is listed as the first defendant in the court filing. The Chairman of the university is also named as a defendant, according to the court documents.
The exact reasons for the termination of his appointment have not been fully detailed in the court filing. The legal process will now unfold to address the claims.
This lawsuit means the university's decision to end the Vice-Chancellor's tenure is now under judicial review. The court will hear arguments from both sides.
Professor Afoakwa's action signals a significant dispute within the leadership of the GCTU. The outcome could set a precedent for administrative decisions at the institution.
The legal proceedings are expected to bring clarity to the situation. Both parties will have the opportunity to present their case before the judge.
