The High court in Winneba has ordered the University of Education to reinstate its former Vice-Chancellor, Prof Mawutor Avoke to his position.

Also, the court presided over by his Lordship, Aboagye Tandoh ordered the UEW to reinstate officers of the University who lost their positions as a result of the legal battle and pay them all arrears owed them.

A citizen of Winneba, Supi Kofi Kwayera brought a suit before the Winneba High Court in which he cited the then Vice-Chancellor of the University, Prof Avoke for procurement, financial irregularities and argued that the same was operating under a Governing Council whose mandate had expired as far back as November 2013.

As a result, the court ordered Prof. Avoke in 2017 to step aside until the final determination of the case brought before it had been decided.

Following this, the School’s Governing Council removed from office, Prof Avoke, and other senior officers of the University.
