The affected universities are the University for Development Studies (UDS), Ghana Communications Technology University (GCTU), and Akenten Appiah-Menka University of Skills Training and Entrepreneurial Development (AAMUSTED).
According to NSA Director-General Ruth Dela Seddoh, the staff members from these institutions are currently under investigation for unspecified irregularities. The NSA has pledged full cooperation with law enforcement to ensure transparency and accountability in the probe.
