GTEC Questions Spio-Garbrah's Use Of 'Dr.' Title
Ekwow Spio-Garbrah, Presidential Special Envoy for Reparations, has been requested by the Ghana Tertiary Education Commission (GTEC) to provide clarification over his use of the academic title "Dr." GTEC expressed concern that "academic titles should only be used where they have been duly earned or conferred through recognised academic processes." The Commission stated that using academic titles without formal academic validation could be misleading and inconsistent with established academic protocols and standards in Ghana.
GTEC requested Spio-Garbrah to provide the name of the institution that awarded the doctorate, whether the degree was earned or honorary, the date it was conferred, and the process through which it was awarded. If he is unable to provide the requested documentation, he would be expected to cease using the title "Dr." without delay and furnish verifiable evidence that the title had been removed from all relevant platforms. As of the contents of the letter made available, there was no response from Mr. Spio-Garbrah to GTEC's request.
