UCC alumni face internal strife over legitimacy of president

The University of Cape Coast (UCC) Alumni Association is facing internal strife as the Concerned Alumni group challenges the legitimacy of Samuel Danso Akoto’s presidency.

The group questioned Akoto’s authority to administer the alumni oath, emphasizing that his term as national alumni president ended on November 29, 2023.

In a press release signed by Ernest Koomson, the convener of the Concerned Alumni, the group stated that the extension of Akoto’s expired term as president was against the association’s constitution.

The Concerned Alumni group has therefore requested the university council and the minister of education to revoke Akoto’s recognition as a member of the governing council.

He further stated, “This ‘noise’ is a testament to how attractive the Alumni Association has become.”.

koto defended the extension of his term, saying it was decided by a duly constituted national council, consisting of various chapter presidents of the UCC Alumni Association.

Where were these so-called Concerned Alumni in all these,” Samuel Danso Akoto said.
