The Chairman of the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) Governing Council, Nana Ofori Ansah I, has met with all levels of University staff to clear the air about recent events at the university.
The meetings were held on Tuesday, 8th March, 2022 with Members of Convocation and Wednesday, 9th March, 2022 with Senior and Junior Staff at the Jophus Anamuah-Mensah Conference Centre, North Campus, Winneba.
Nana Ansah I, in his remarks at both meetings, revealed the unbiased role Council and Management of UEW have been playing to ensure that peace, reconciliation and togetherness prevail in the University.
