The University of Cape Coast (UCC) Governing Council has confirmed that Professor Johnson Nyarko Boampong's tenure as Vice-Chancellor officially ended on September 18, 2025. This decision is in accordance with the Constitution of Ghana and the University's Statutes.
The announcement was made during the Council’s 124th Regular Meeting on November 27, 2025, following a thorough review of Prof. Boampong’s appointment.
In a statement signed by Council Secretary, Gideon Enoch Abbeyquaye Esq., the Council noted that the review took into account the discontinuation of the legal case *John Mevemeo v. University of Cape Coast and Prof. Johnson Nyarko Boampong*, as well as a directive from the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission regarding the mandatory retirement age of 60.
The Council concluded that the two-year extension of Prof. Boampong's term was inconsistent with the 1992 Constitution. As a result, his second term officially ended upon reaching the compulsory retirement age.
“To ensure compliance, the Council has revised the end of his second term to September 18, 2025—the date on which he turned 60,” the statement read.
The Governing Council further clarified that this revised tenure supersedes any prior notices concerning the extension of his term, fully aligning it with university regulations and constitutional requirements.
