The Winneba High Court presided over by his lordship, Aboagye Tandoh, has ordered that Prof. Mawutor Avoke be reinstated as the Vice-Chancellor of the University of Education, Winneba.

The court ruled that all others who lost their positions in the school or were affected by the long legal tussle to be reinstated, and their salary arrears paid to them with retrospective effect from the day they were unlawfully removed.

Prof. Avoke’s troubles date back to 2017 when a Winneba High Court ordered him to step aside until a case brought against him and the University’s Governing Council was determined.

The case was brought before the court by one Supi Kofi Kwayera, who insisted that the Vice-Chancellor and the Finance Officer, were operating under the institution’s defunct governing council.

The plaintiff argued that the University’s Council’s mandate had expired in November 2013, but the Education Ministry failed to constitute a new Governing Council for the university and rather allowed the defunct Governing Council which had no mandate whatsoever to continue in the functions of a properly constituted Governing Council.

Supi Kofi Kwayera also alleged financial and procurement irregularities on the part of Prof Avoke.

Following the Court’s ruling in December 2017, Prof Avoke, together with some other Principal Officers of the University, was removed by the school’s Governing Council.

This was described by some lecturers as politically motivated.

Later, the Supreme Court overturned the High Court’s decision which led to the removal.

The management of the school, however, insisted Prof. Avoke will not be reinstated because his dismissal was determined by the institution’s Governing Council.

The transition from Larweh University College to Accra Metropolitan University marks a significant milestone in the institution’s journey. In December 2024, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo granted a Presidential Charter to 14 private university colleges, including Larweh University College, officially elevating them to the status of fully-fledged universities. This recognition allows Accra Met to independently award degrees, diplomas, and certificates, further solidifying its position in Ghana’s higher education landscape.

Accra Met offers a diverse range of undergraduate and graduate programs tailored to meet industry demands. Undergraduate programs include Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance and Accounting, Human Resource Management, and International Business Management. Graduate offerings encompass Master of Business Administration in various specializations, Master of Science in Development Economics, and a Doctor of Business Administration program. The university also provides pathway programs in collaboration with international institutions such as Durban University of Technology (DUT),
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the Open University of Tanzania.

Accra Metropolitan University is committed to blending traditional marketing with digital strategies to create comprehensive communication campaigns that resonate with a global audience. By embracing modern communication tools, Accra Met aims to attract a diverse student body and offer top-tier academic programs that reflect excellence in tertiary education. Prospective students from all backgrounds are encouraged to join the Accra Met community and be part of this transformative journey.
