The Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) has, in a new directive, cautioned the Deputy Minister of Health, Dr Grace Ayensu-Danquah, against presenting herself as a professor.

According to GTEC, the commission insists that the minister, who is also the Member of Parliament for Essikado-Ketan, is not a professor, despite her claim that she was appointed as an Assistant Professor of Surgery by the University of Utah in the United States, citinewsroom.com reports.

In a letter addressed to the Chief of Staff at the Presidency, GTEC reportedly stated that, as part of its efforts to verify the claim, it requested Dr Ayensu-Danquah to provide documents to support her professorship title by August 11, 2025.

The documents she submitted, GTEC added, showed some inconsistencies.
