The University of Ghana has disassociated itself from a viral letter circulating on social media regarding the degree verification of the Acting CEO of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Malik Basintale.
The University explained that the letter, purportedly signed by the Registrar, Mrs. Emelia Agyei-Mensah, and addressed to the Secretary of the Civil Service Council with the title “RE: REQUEST FOR VERIFICATION OF DEGREE – MALIK BASINTALE,” dated 27th May 2025, is a forgery.
In a statement, management emphasized that neither the Registrar nor any other officer of the University has received, processed, or responded to any such request.
A separate letter dated June 2, 2025, issued by Dr. Elizier Taiba Ameyaw-Buronyah, the Director of the Public Affairs Directorate, therefore urged the public to disregard the forged letter.
