The challenges faced by the University of Education, Winneba (UEW), are persisting and show no signs of abating. A group known as the Concerned Staff of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) is urging President Akufo-Addo to immediately revoke the appointment of Nana Ofori Ansah I as the Council Chairman of the University.
The group argued that the “actions and inactions of the Chairman of the Governing Council, Nana Ofori Ansah I, whose continuous autocratic tendencies, coupled with his arbitrary disregard for laid down procedures in the running of the University, has led to heightened tension in the University, which can explode at any moment.”
Additionally, the group is calling for the dissolution of the Council altogether.

The association has raised concerns about various incidents within the University that, if left unaddressed, could disrupt the peaceful atmosphere. Nana Ofori Ansah I is specifically accused of demonstrating “significant leadership weaknesses” since taking office, fostering a sense of unease, and allegedly plotting to undermine the stability of UEW. Furthermore, he is accused of disregarding the UEW Statutes and other established procedures.
“As clearly stated above, the call for the immediate dissolution of the UEW Governing Council and the subsequent dismissal of Nana Ofori Ansah 1 from office as Council Chairman of UEW is justified without doubt. He pursues his personal interest and the interests of other UEW saboteurs and saboteurs of Ghana at large at the expense of the entire UEW and Ghana as a whole. His continued stay in office as the Governing Council Chairman is a threat to the peace and stability of the University,” the Concerned Staff wrote in a press release
