Rejoinder: Denial of False Claims Regarding the Academic Credentials of the ProVice-Chancellor of STU, Professor Solomon Korantwi-Barimah
The Management of Sunyani Technical University (STU) has noted with serious concern the false claims being circulated in certain quarters of the media questioning the academic credentials of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor of Sunyani Technical University (STU), Professor Solomon Korantwi-Barimah.
These baseless allegations, particularly the claim that Professor Korantwi-Barimah possesses a 'fake PhD' are not only defamatory but a calculated attempt to tarnish the hard-won reputation of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor and the STU.
For the records, Sunyani Technical University Sponsored Professor Solomon Korantwi-Barimah to pursue a Doctoral Degree at the Tshwane University of Technology in South Africa, where he obtained a Doctor of Technology Degree (DTech) in Human Resource Management through rigorous academic training that meets international standards.
Subsequently, this academic qualification was evaluated and confirmed by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) as comparable to a Doctoral Degree awarded by any recognized tertiary institution in Ghana.
Therefore, this false narrative being spread in the media is not only an affront to the Pro-VC but also an attack on the integrity of STU and its leadership.
We categorically deny these unfounded claims and urge the general public to disregard any such malicious publications.
We also caution those perpetrating the falsehood to desist from further spreading the disinformation and character assassination in their own interest. Thank you.
