Four students of Legon dismissed for forging results

Four level 100 studentsof the University of Ghana, Legon, have been dismissed from the University for presenting forged results of the Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSSCE) to gain unfair advantage in the admissions process in August 2001. The affected students are: Emma Ankamah, Lamie Sulley, Benjamin Effah-Boachie and Cynthia Bright-Fasintei, all of whom were reading for a Bachelor of Arts.

A letter dated February 22 circulated by Mr. T. Tabi, Deputy Registrar of Academic Affairs, to heads of departments, the results of the students did not exist in the records from the West African Examinations Council. Mr Tabi advised all public universities in the country not to allow the students to gain unfair advantage in future admissions.
