Some of the students who completed the programme in 2020 rejected the certificates issued to them by the university, Ghana News Agency (GNA) reported.
They argued that the school was not accredited to independently run the course at the time of their enrolment for the programme in August 2018.
At the time of their enrolment, the university was running the programme in affiliation with the Cape Coast Technical University (CTU) and North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University, USA.
To their dismay, the TTU issued them the certificates after their graduation without any reference to the Cape Coast Technical University and the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University.
The course leader for the 2020 batch, Justice Ato Bentil, disclosed that they plan to drag the university to court for it to be compelled to issue them the right certificates.
TTU gained accreditation on May 7, 2020, to run Bachelor of Technology in Mechanical Engineering (Production Option).
The school terminated its affiliation with the Cape Coast Technical University on March 2, 2021.
TTU PRO, Kow Richardson-Nketsiah, said the school has the power to issue those certificates despite its affiliation with the Cape Coast Technical University and the North Carolina Agricultural and Technical University.
