The University of Cape Coast (UCC) Governing Council has announced that the tenure of Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong as Vice-Chancellor officially ended on September 18, 2025, in accordance with the Constitution of Ghana and the University’s Statutes.
The decision was taken at the Council’s 124th Regular Meeting on November 27, 2025, after a comprehensive review of Prof. Boampong’s appointment.
In a statement signed by Council Secretary, Gideon Enoch Abbeyquaye Esq., the Council explained that its review considered the discontinuance of the case John Mevemeo v. University of Cape Coast and Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong, as well as a directive from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission on the mandatory retirement age of 60.
According to the Council, the two-year extension granted to Prof. Boampong was inconsistent with the 1992 Constitution. As a result, his second term officially concluded on the date he attained the compulsory retirement age.
“To ensure compliance, Council has revised the end of his second term to 18th September 2025, the date on which he attained 60 years,” the statement said.
The Council added that this revised tenure supersedes all earlier notices regarding the extension of his term, ensuring full alignment with university regulations and constitutional provisions.
