The Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) has dismissed a purported announcement circulating on various platforms about the reopening date for the 2026/2027 academic year, describing it as fake and unauthorised.
In a public notice issued on 13 October 2026, the university’s management said it had no connection with the publication, which it described as reportedly AI-generated.
The university stressed that the announcement did not represent its official position and urged students, parents, guardians, staff and the general public to disregard the publication and refrain from sharing it further.
