Prof. Avoke Insists UEW Should Reinstate Him as VC

Dismissed former Vice Chancellor of the University of Education, Winneba Prof. Mawutor Avoke is asking the university to reinstate him immediately.

His demand is premised on the report of the Economic and Organize Crime Office (EOCO) after its investigation into activities leading to his dismissal exonerated him.

Prof. Avoke was axed in 2018 few months to the end of his tenure as the Vice Chancellor of the public university.

At a press conference in Accra on Tuesday, the former VC said he will go to court next month if the university fails to reinstate him.

Publicly speaking on the development at the university for the first time, Prof. Avoke stated:

“Anyone who is a critical observer of the issues over the time will clearly know that some levels of involvement have played critical roles at various stages of this saga…no allegation has been proven against any of us and therefore the moral thing for stakeholders to do is to invite me back to the university.

“I do not see why after the Supreme Court had quashed the judgment of the Winneba High Court I shouldn’t go back because some fact-finding reports which have the same terms of reference as the EOCO report say some offenses have been committed. One of the basic objectives of the fact-finding report was to help the lawyers file the case to Court.

“At what time did it evolve to become a fault finding report? These are the fundamental questions that you ask. Clearly, this must point to the fact that there are people who are manipulating the system to prevent us from coming back.”
