The Principal of St. Vincent College of Education, Dr. Jonas Kwabla Fiadzawoo has resigned from his position, effective January 16, 2025.
In his resignation letter addressed to the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC), Dr Fiadzawoo cited the lack of support from the college community.
He explained that recent developments suggested his leadership did not align with the aspirations of the college.
The embattled Principal highlighted the need to respect the views of the college to drive progress and proposed that the Vice Principal act in the interim until a new principal is appointed​.
“I believe that any other qualified person fully accepted and supported by the community can achieve better results than what I envisaged,” he said.
Dr Fiadzawoo’s resignation follows a reported incident on January 13, 2025, when representatives claiming to act on behalf of the King of Dagbon ordered the closure of the college.
According to a summary report, the group insisted that the college adhere to the King’s recommendation for the principal position.
Staff were allegedly warned not to return to campus until the directive was obeyed, with threats issued to those who might resist​.
Dr. Fiadzawoo submitted a report on the incident to GTEC on January 14, 2025, detailing the disruptions caused by the delegation’s demands.
