The University of Education Winneba (UEW) has closed down all its campuses following an order by the Winneba High Court on Tuesday.
The school was dragged to court by one Supi Kofi Kwayera, represented by MP for Effutu, Alex Afenyo Markin challenging the legality of its Governing Council which's mandate originally expired in 2013.
In the suit, Mr Kwayera sought relieves including a declaration of all decisions and actions by the Council since the expiration of its original term as null and void.
The court, presided over by Justice Ato Graves Mills, on Tuesday granted some of the petitioner's relieves pending the determination of the substantive case on Friday, June 16.
Subsequent to the court's decision, a stakeholders meeting was held by the school's authorities and it was agreed that all campuses be shut down since officers working there were all appointed by the university's council.
"In order not to flout the directive of the court, the Registrar has been directed by the University community at a meeting held today 13th June, 2017 to communicate the closure of all campuses of the University (Winneba, Kumasi, Mampong-Ashanti, and Ajumako)", a statement signed by the school's registrar, Dr. C.Y. Akwaa-Mensa stated.
