Our VC is Still at Post- UCC

The Director of Public Affairs Relations at the University of Cape Coast (UCC), Major Kofi Baah-Bentum (Rtd) has announced that the institution’s Vice Chancellor, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong is still at post.

This was contained in a press statement discrediting a letter dated July 31, 2024, that circulated on Wednesday to the effect that the VC’s reappointment following the expiration of his contract had been rescinded.

The said letter was written and signed by the Chairman of the University Council, Prof. Harold S. Amonoo-Kuofi.

However, the University in its press statement entreated the public to disregard the news.

“The Management of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), has come across a letter purported to have been written and signed by the Chairman of the University Council, Prof. Harold S. Amonoo-Kuofi, terminating the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong.”

It furthered, “Council has not met to discuss or take such a decision and that, at its last meeting held on Tuesday, 30th July 2024, records available indicate that matters discussed and decided upon did not include the Vice-Chancellor’s tenure.

“The University community and the general public are, therefore, entreated to disregard the publication.”
