Professor Anthony Afful-Broni, Vice Chancellor of the University of Education, Winneba, was convened by the Parliament's Education Committee.
It should address the current stalemate that led to the indefinite closure of the University earlier this month.
The controversy began when, in 2017, the board of governors of the University asked Prof. Mawutor Avoke, then vice-chancellor, to step down.
It was after a Supi Kofi Kwayera, Alexander Afenyo Markin, suspected of constituting a facade for the region, filed a complaint alleging irregularities in the area of finance and procurement.
Shortly after this, the Supreme Court overturned a decision of the High Court of Winneba, which had declared Professor Avoke and another guilty of these financial irregularities and this procurement.
Professor Avoke, who had applied for reinstatement after the Supreme Court decision, was replaced by current Vice Chancellor Professor Anthony Afful-Broni.
The dust seemed to have calmed down until the current vice-chancellor dismissed three speakers deemed to be influential for a variety of reasons, including not cooperating with the press. direction and not to take legal action against the school.
The MP from the region who scrambled with Professor Afful-Broni badured the public that the dismissed lecturers would be reinstated, but the university council contradicted this badertion.
