The Management of the University of Ghana (UG) has explained that persistent delays in releasing students’ semester results are due to high staff attrition and a slow recruitment process.
According to the university, bureaucratic delays in securing government approval to hire replacements have compounded the challenge.
The clarification comes after Vice Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, Davis Opoku, raised concerns about repeated student complaints over late results.
Responding, Vice Chancellor Professor Nana Aba Appiah Amfo acknowledged the institution’s struggles with limited personnel.
“We try to do our best, but we also sometimes have constraints. We have constraints with faculty and staff issues. We get our staff being separated from the universities, but we don’t have the liberties to replace them,” she said.
Professor Amfo added that delays in replacing staff—whether due to death, transfer, or retirement—adversely affect both academic delivery and the timely processing of students’ results.
