The governing council chairman of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) Nana Ofori-Ansah I is justified for the removal of the substantive Finance Officer Mr Francis Obeng.
He is acting on the advice of the Attorney General to ensure that peace prevails in UEW.
A document from the Attorney General which recommended the action to be taken against the Finance Officer penned other ways to ensure that the relative calm at UEW is not undermined again by any person or group.
It further advises the governing council under the leadership Prof. Mawutor Avoke who was recently reinstated by a court order as Vice Chancellor of the university after a long legal battle to take the necessary steps to maintain peace.
Yesterday, UEW Convocation Representatives called on government to intervene and have the school’s governing council chairman, Nana Ofori-Ansah I fired.
In a joint press release from the UEW Convocation Representatives, it has condemned recent happenings in the University and the conduct of the Chairman who is accused of abusing his office and being autocratic.
Particularly referencing the unilateral decision by Nana Ofori-Ansah I to terminate the appointment of substantive Finance Officer Mr. Francis Obeng, the UEW Convocation Representatives stresses that he must be stopped immediately.
“We need to put on record that the inconclusive Council meeting held on the 24th of February 2022 on the matter of substantive Finance Officer position, and the unilateral decision of the Council Chairman to terminate the appointment of the substantive Finance Officer, Mr. Francis Obeng, without assigning any tangible reason, without due process and without recourse or reference to the Governing Council but on his personal decision and accord is dictatorial, authoritarian, wrong administratively, illegitimate, and a slap in the face of university administrative principles,” part of a joint release copied to President Akufo-Addo reads.
