Calm was restored after tensions at school on Tuesday
There is a relative calm on the campus of the University of Education, Winneba, after Tuesday's incident that tainted the administrative activities on campus.
Tensions were high on campus Tuesday as a result of former teacher Mawutor Avoke's project, former vice chancellor of the university, to hold a press conference on campus.
But the police prevented Professor Avoke and his team from continuing the press conference.
Context
In 2017, the High Court of Winneba ordered Professor Avoke to withdraw until a lawsuit was brought against him and the determination of the governing board of the University.
The Governing Council subsequently dismissed Avoke and replaced him with Professor Afful-Broni.
Professor Avoke's lawyers, in November 2018, wrote a letter to the school's board asking him to prepare their client's office to allow him to resume his duties after his alleged exemption from the Supreme Court.
The lawyers also wanted the same agreement to be extended to the former finance chief of the University, Dr. Theophilus Senyo Ackorlie.
But the demand has been slaughtered.
The board of directors however supported Professor Afful-Broni despite accusations of victimization, injustice and other actions that would have discredited the professor. image of the university.

At a press conference in April 2019, Professor Mawutor Avoke called for immediate reinstatement.
He also wanted factions opposed to the school to unite and resolve their differences in the interest of the university.
Anthony Afful-Broni and the chairman of the university's board of directors, Professor Emmanuel Abekah, were ready to work together. l & # 39; institution.
"I have demonstrated that I am able to work with all categories of people. I named Afful Broni as Vice Chancellor despite what happened. I've already worked with Professor Abeka. The question is whether they are willing to work with me. I have demonstrated that I am a consensus builder and that I have the unlimited ability to bounce back and work with all categories of people. "
"It's not about me, it's about the social agenda of the university. I have indicated that the university is larger than any of us and that, therefore, we must put our prejudices and prejudices on the outside and we group together to advance the university, "he added.
Professor Avoke will not be reinstated
The direction of the University of Education Winneba (STE) later indicated that Professor Mawutor Avoke would not be reinstated.
According to the University, although a report by the Bureau for Combating Economic Crime and Organized Crime (EOCO) exempted it, the decision to dismiss him was taken by the institution's board of governors.
In an interview with Citi News, UEW Public Relations Officer (PRO), Ernest Azutiga praised Professor Avoke's call to work with everyone to bring peace to the university, but rejected his request for reinstatement .
"On his call to work with everyone to bring peace to the institution, I think this is going in the right direction as it is the goal that management and board work. bring peace and reconciliation in the institution. He also asked that he be reinstated, but the question will be on what will reintegration rest. What I understand from his hurry is that he was exonerated by EOCO. "
"A decision of the Supreme Court overturned the decision of the High Court of Winneba. The situation is such that in this decision of the Supreme Court, the judges made it clear that the decision to dismiss him was not based on EOCO reports. In fact, the STE did not make any formal complaint to EOCO. Based on the arguments he's making, it will be impossible to reinstate him, "the PRO added.
