Management of Sunyani Technical University (STU) has refuted an alleged sex-for-grades scandal leveled against some lecturers at the university, describing the claim as untrue and baseless.

“Management wishes to state unequivocally that after thorough investigations into the recently alleged sex-for-grades claim by a former SRC President of the University, Mr. Owusu Agyekum, not a speck of evidence or proof could be found to back his allegations,” the university authorities stated.

The University management, therefore, advised Mr Agyekum to retract the “wild allegations” and apologize unreservedly, noting that the allegations had in one way, or another tarnished the hard-won reputation of the university.

A press statement issued and signed by Professor Kwadwo Adinkrah-Appiah, the Vice Chancellor of STU and copied to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Sunyani, explained that after more than two months of investigations into the matter, neither Mr. Owusu Agyekum nor any other person could support the allegations with any concrete evidence.

Hence Management of the University had concluded that Mr. Owusu Agyekum had no basis for his allegations.
