Following the reopening of the thousand and one question surrounding whether Nana Akufo Addo attended Oxford University or not after my revelation in my article on the same subject (see “Why Akufo Addo Omitted Oxford University from his Profile?”, Ghanaweb November 13, 2012), and response from NPP General Secretary (see Akufo-Addo will not dignify RAP with a response-Sir John, Ghanaweb November 21, 2012), I have decided to make public my correspondence with Oxford University on the subject in an attempt to end the uncertainty.
I therefore reproduced some of my letters to Oxford University under the Freedom of Information requests and their responses for the reading public. With the exception of my personal information that have been deleted, the correspondence are unedited. For your information, apart from Oxford confirming that Nana Akufo Addo was a student in 1962/63 academic year, the university refused to answer any other questions until they were ordered by the Office of Information Commissioners to fully answer my questions because they were of public interest as the reasons I offered for the request met the public interest test.
I am making them public because I still think it is a trust issue and again Nana Akufo Addo and NPP have handled a minor and irrelevant issue very badly. Instead of killing the story by coming out to confirm it they have fueled it by a sea of silence hoping against hope that the story will go away. I also think that some of the contents will end the speculation that Nana Akufo Addo was dismissed from Oxford.
Below is the correspondence between oxford University and myself:
