The Ghana Communication Technology University (GCTU) has condemned what it describes as a coordinated campaign to tarnish its image, particularly through social media and some online platforms.
In a statement, the university said several unverified allegations — some targeting senior officials and lecturers — appear to be driven by individuals with personal grudges, including disgruntled former staff members.
“Some of these publications are self-serving and parochial in nature,” the statement noted, adding that while the institution is investigating certain reported cases of academic misconduct, it strongly opposes the circulation of unfounded accusations without giving the university the chance to respond.
GCTU warned that it will not hesitate to pursue legal and institutional action against individuals or entities found to be spreading falsehoods.
“Faceless individuals hiding behind anonymity to launch such attacks should take note: they will be identified and dealt with decisively,” the statement cautioned.
The university emphasized its commitment to transparency and due process, saying all credible complaints are thoroughly investigated and handled in accordance with its disciplinary code.
It urged the public to treat unverified claims with caution until they are confirmed by credible sources.
Despite what it called “reckless attempts” to undermine its work, GCTU reaffirmed its commitment to producing skilled graduates capable of advancing Ghana’s digital transformation.
