The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has restored all services to the University of Cape Coast (UCC).
This is coming a few days after the controversy between GTEC and the Vice-Chancellor of UCC, Prof Johnson Nyarko Boampong, over his compulsory retirement age took a different twist.
The punitive action initiated by GTEC on September 19, 2025, was going to see all services withdrawn with immediate effect, including not processing any request from the UCC in respect of accreditation, salaries (government subventions), GETFund support, Book and Research Allowances, Post Retirement Contracts, Financial Clearance for Recruitment, and any other related requests.
GTEC in a letter dated September 24, 2025, has informed the UCC that it was restoring all services following compliance with its directive.
The letter addressed to the Registrar of the UCC, a copy of which has been seen by Graphic Online, was signed by the Acting Director of Corporate Affairs of GTEC, Jerry Sarfo, on behalf of the Director-General of GTEC.
It stated: “Following the evidence provided by the Registrar of the University of Cape Coast (UCC), complying with the directive issued by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) on the 19th of September 2025, as well as Prof. Johnson Boampong taking the case in court, GTEC, with immediate effect, restores all services that were earlier withdrawn to UCC.
“Please be informed that the University of Cape Coast (UCC) has been put back on the GTEC website as a fully accredited institution.
“We are grateful to the Registrar and management of UCC for their cooperation during the period,” it added.
