The Ghana Tertiary Commission (GTEC) has issued a final warning to persons with honorary doctorates and professorships to cease using the title in public.
A statement issued by GTEC dated May 30, 2025, said the notice is particularly for politicians, businessmen, businesswomen, and men and women of God.
GTEC stated that these categories of people and any other individuals desist from officially using the honorary doctorate and professorship titles in their everyday lives.
”Such practice is deceitful and unethical and also tends to dilute the integrity of the higher education system and the value and true doctoral education and promotion of the professorial system in the universities. The Commission would, from now onwards, in addition to naming and shaming those individuals who would be found to have flouted the GTEC directives, take legal action against them.”
