Professor Emmanuel Ohene Afoakwa has secured an interlocutory order from the High Court. This legal action blocks his removal as Vice-Chancellor of Ghana Communication Technology University.
The court order was granted after Professor Afoakwa filed a lawsuit disputing the termination of his appointment. He described the termination as unlawful.
The order specifically prevents the university and other unnamed defendants from interfering with his responsibilities. It also protects his entitlements and his position as Vice-Chancellor.
Details regarding the specific reasons for the attempted termination of Professor Afoakwa's appointment have not yet been made public. The case is currently before the High Court of Justice.
This ruling means Professor Afoakwa will continue to serve as Vice-Chancellor while the legal proceedings unfold. The university must adhere to the court's directive.
