President Mahama sacks National Ambulance Service CEO

President John Dramani Mahama has dismissed Dr Nuhu Zakaria as Chief Executive Officer of the National Ambulance Service, according to a Citi News report.

While no official explanation has been provided for his dismissal, the decision comes amid concerns raised by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) regarding the alleged misuse of academic titles.

Dr Zakaria was recently named in a GTEC report identifying individuals who had adopted academic titles or credentials that had not been formally verified.

His inclusion in the report has sparked public scrutiny, although it remains unclear whether this directly influenced the president’s decision.

The presidency is yet to announce a replacement.
