The University of Ghana is cautioning the public about fraudulent land sales involving university-owned property, especially areas surrounding the National Service Farms and Papao.
In a notice issued by the Public Affairs Directorate, the University expressed deep concern over recent reports of individuals—believed to be from Osu—falsely claiming government approval to sell parts of its land.
According to the statement, some unsuspecting buyers have already fallen victim to the scam. The University learned through its Physical Development and Municipal Services Directorate (PDMSD) that at least two individuals were tricked into purchasing land under the pretense that the University would later endorse their ownership. However, the institution firmly denied any such arrangement.
One of the fraudulent land deals is currently under investigation by National Security, with officers having visited the university as part of ongoing inquiries.
The University reaffirmed its stance: none of its lands have been transferred or sold to any person or group.
"No one is authorised to sell land on behalf of the University. These properties are not for sale," the statement emphasized.
The public is being urged to remain vigilant and report any suspicious land offers to the University or law enforcement agencies immediately.
This public alert ties into the University’s 2024–2029 Strategic Plan, specifically Strategic Priority 5, which centers on the responsible and sustainable management of institutional resources.
