The Management of the College of Technology Education, Kumasi (COLTEK) of the University of Education Winneba (UEW), has called on stakeholders to ignore and treat with contempt, a publication purporting to indicate that the University was involved in a fraud case at the National Service Secretariat (NSS).
This follows publications on various online portals making the rounds last week that, the Management of the Universities had assisted some National Service personnel to register with the names and index numbers of some past students of the school.
A rejoinder issued by the University and copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Kumasi, said “management takes serious view of the said publication that has besmeared the otherwise good image of the College and its hardworking staff”.
It particularly condemned in no uncertain terms, the misleading headline of the story that bluntly accused the management of fraud, even though, there was no part of the story where the supposed concerned students tied management to any wrong doing.
“Beyond submitting soft and hard copies of the list, the University does nothing again in the NSS recruitment process. It is therefore unfortunate if what has been ascribed to Mr. Opoku Mensah, the Ashanti Regional Director of the NSS in the story indeed came from him,” the rejoinder signed by the School’s Registrar, Mr. Paul Osei-Barima stated.
