Meanwhile, the Executive Secretary of the National Accreditation Board, Mr. Kwame Darttey who reacted on behalf of the Chairman refuted the allegations leveled against Prof. Acheampong, describing it as baseless. Mr. Darttey challenged Prof. Adae to specifically point out which area the Board is performing below par.
