President Mahama Fires Ambulance Boss Amid Academic Title Scandal
Dismissal follows GTEC's allegations of unearned academic credentials, but official cause remains undisclosed.
- Dr. Nuhu Zakaria removed as CEO of National Ambulance Service by President Mahama
- GTEC flagged him for allegedly using an unearned academic title
- Official reason for his dismissal has not been publicly confirmed
President John Dramani Mahama has dismissed Dr. Nuhu Zakaria from his role as Chief Executive Officer of the National Ambulance Service.
While the presidency has not provided an official explanation for his removal, it comes on the heels of allegations raised by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC). Dr. Zakaria was reportedly among individuals flagged for using academic titles and qualifications that had not been formally verified.
Although it remains uncertain if GTEC’s findings were the direct cause of his dismissal, the controversy surrounding his credentials appears to have cast a shadow over his tenure.
