L-R:Gunu claims NIB retrieved scholarship documents at the home of Nkansah, signed by Dr Agyeman
Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Ghana Digital Centres Limited (GDCL), Dzifa Gunu, has provided details of investigations into the scholarship-for-sale allegations made by former National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP) CEO, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah.
According to Dzifa Gunu, Ofosu Nkansah submitted WhatsApp chats to the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) in relation to the allegations.
In a post shared on Facebook on February 11, 2026, he disclosed that NIB operatives subsequently searched Nkansah’s residence and retrieved scholarship-related documents addressed to universities in the United Kingdom.
The documents allegedly included “Affidavit of Financial Support with Dependents” forms, all said to have been signed by the former Registrar of the Ghana Scholarship Secretariat and now Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South, Dr Kingsley Agyeman.
Below are details of the documents retrieved, as stated by the CEO of GDCL:
Five (5) scholarship award letters and one (1) “No Objection” letter on Ghana Scholarship Secretariat (GSS) letterhead, signed by the former Registrar, Dr Kingsley Agyeman, and addressed to various universities in the UK.
Three of the award letters were dated November 26, 2024; one was dated October 8, 2024; and another was dated December 17, 2024. The “No Objection” letter was dated December 31, 2024.
Four (4) “Affidavits of Financial Support with Dependents” forms from the University of Memphis, USA, endorsed by the former Deputy Director of Administration at the GSS, Joseph Essay.
Four (4) bond forms from the GSS.
An amendment letter relating to a scholarship issued to one Micheal Nkansah.
What the former NEIP boss said
Speaking in a recent interview on Sompa FM, Nkansah alleged that he knows individuals, including members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), who have purchased scholarships for sums as high as GH¢100,000 or more.
“These are the things Dr Bawumia says he would stop, and so he is bringing digitalisation, which was accepted by the delegates. I would not be a hypocrite to pretend that it doesn’t happen because, even with the new NDC government, I know people who have bought a foreign scholarship. The person bought the scholarship and has travelled abroad.
“I don’t know the exact amount the scholarships are sold for, but some cost up to GH¢100,000. Some NPP members are even buying them to travel abroad; I’m telling you,” he claimed.
He added: “What I’m trying to say is that whether the NDC is in power or the NPP, some of these excesses happen. We cannot pretend or think that it doesn’t happen. I’m talking about things that have already happened.”
Nkansah, however, stated that he does not know whether the scholarships are being sold through the Ghana Scholarship Secretariat, the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFund), or any other state institution responsible for awarding such scholarships.
