The Ho Technical University has denied stories of the revocation of the appointment of the institution’s Vice-Chancellor, Professor Ben Quashie Honyenuga.
The Herald Newspaper reported the revocation of the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor by the Minister of Education, in its Wednesday, February 13, 2019 publication.
The University in a press statement, signed by Dr. C.K. Amehoe, the Interim Registrar, is urging the students’ body, alumni and the general public, to disregard the publication.
“The Technical University’s attention has been drawn to a publication on Wednesday 13th February 2019 edition of the Herald Newspaper on the above subject,”
“We wish to state for the information of the University Community, alumni and the general public that, neither Council nor Management of the Ho Technical University, notice of the revocation of the appointment of the Vice-Chancellor for the University,” parts of the statement read.
Appointment of Prof. Ben Quashie Honyenuga
The Council of the Technical University at its 29th Special Meeting held on Friday 18th January 2019 approved the appointment of Professor Ben Quashie Honyenuga, as the Vice-Chancellor of the University.
His approval followed the report of the Search Committee for a Vice-Chancellor of the University, constituted by the Council, and chaired by Prof. K.K. Adarkwa, a former Vice-Chancellor of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi.
The National Council for Tertiary Education has since been notified of the Council’s decision and requested for the appropriate terms and conditions under which the Vice-Chancellor should be appointed.
Prof. Honyenuga was the Interim Pro-Vice-Chancellor, substantive Pro-Vice-Chancellor and Acting Vice-Chancellor, prior to his appointment.
He also served as the Dean of Students and Vice Rector, during the days the institution operated as a Polytechnic.
