Education Minister Haruna Iddrisu directed the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to immediately withdraw its letter on the retirement and post-retirement engagement of university lecturers while commissioning a new hostel facility at Wisconsin International University College at Feyiase in the Ashanti Region.
