Appointment of new UDS Vice Chancellor suffers setback

The appointment of a new Vice-Chancellor for the University for Development Studies (UDS) has suffered another setback following a court injunction on the appointment process.

Already, there are contradictory statements from the University.

Whilst various chiefs including the overlord of Dagbon, Ya Na Abukari II, have written to congratulate Professor Seidu Alhassan on his appointment as the Vice-Chancellor of the University, a statement came from the office of the Registrar last week, indicating that, the University had not appointed anyone to the position of a Vice-Chancellor.

The Registrar later issued a statement to disclaim the earlier rejoinder.

The tenure of the current VC, Professor Gabriel Ayum Teye, ends in August, with a new Vice Chancellor expected to take office on the 1st of September 2022.

However, the appointment of a new Vice Chancellor by the search committee has so far been embroiled in controversy.

Citi News has seen on social media, a letter signed by the Council Chairman for the UDS, Professor Wayo Seini, appointing Professor Seidu Alhassan as the new Vice Chancellor.

However, the Ghana Tertiary has written to the the University to provide it with details of the minutes of the Committee meeting.

Sources at the University have told Citi News that, there is deep internal wrangling which is affecting the appointment process.
