A group calling itself the Concerned Staff of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) is pleading with President Akufo-Addo to revoke Nana Ofori Ansah I’s appointment as the university’s council chairman immediately.
The group expressed dissatisfaction with a number of events taking place at the university, alleging that if they were permitted to continue, they would disrupt the campus’ tranquil ambience.
The group asserted that the “actions and inaction of the Chairman of the Governing Council, Nana Ofori Ansah I, whose continuous autocratic tendencies, coupled with his arbitrary disregard for laid down procedures in the running of the University, has led to heightened tension in the University, which can explode at any moment.”
According to a statement released by the Association on Thursday, June 1, 2023, Nana Ofori Ansah I is charged with “gross leadership weakness since he was sworn into office, nurturing unease and further nursing and growing adequate plans to destabilize the peace of UEW, and disregarding UEW Statutes and other laid down and established procedures,”
On June 1, 2023, the Association issued a statement that was signed by Nana Ofori.
The six-page statement signed by Prof. George Kankam, Snr, Nana Ofori Ansah I “pursues his personal interest and the interests of other UEW saboteurs and saboteurs of Ghana at large at the expense of the entire UEW and Ghana as a whole”.
“His continued stay in office as the Governing Council Chairman is a threat to the peace and stability of the University,” the statement indicated.
“As clearly stated above, the call for the immediate dissolution of the UEW Governing Council and the subsequent dismissal of Nana Ofori Ansah 1 from office as Council Chairman of UEW is justified without a doubt.
