flag Ghana's education regulator ordered NDC official Richard Asiedu to stop using "Doctor" and "Professor" titles, citing unverified honorary degrees.

flag Ghana’s tertiary education regulator, GTEC, has ordered Richard Kofi Asiedu, NDC Central Regional Chairman, to stop using the titles "Doctor" and "Professor," stating his degrees were honorary, not earned, and lack verifiable documentation. flag The directive, issued in August 2025, is part of a nationwide effort to curb misuse of unearned academic titles in professional settings. flag GTEC emphasized that honorary degrees do not grant official academic recognition. flag Meanwhile, a Kumasi Technical University lecturer accused the NDC of enabling foreign-led illegal mining, known as galamsey, for political gain, sparking debate over the party’s environmental record. flag Environmental advocates stress that galamsey is a national crisis requiring non-partisan solutions.
