Professor Ransford Gyampo, the Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Shippers Authority and a political science lecturer at the University of Ghana has alleged that the BBC’s exposé on him in the popular “Sex for Grades” documentary was orchestrated as part of a political plot.
According to Professor Gyampo, the plot was devised because he had been hinted at as a possible running mate for a presidential candidate, prompting someone to tarnish his image.
Speaking in an interview on 3News on March 24, 2025, he stated that he was not faulted in any aspect of the exposé and was subsequently cleared of any wrongdoing by the university.
“Well, you saw everything that happened. They said ‘sex for grades,’ but you didn’t see me having sex with anybody, and you didn’t see me doing what they claimed with any student. So, if there was no student, there was no sex, why do you talk about grades and grade changing?
“It was an orchestration, simply because I was the one that somebody, whose name I will not mention, had selected as his running mate,” he said.
He further clarified, “It was not an orchestration by the current opposition party. People say it was the NPP that did that to me; no, but it was simply because I was going to be made the running mate to somebody.”
The BBC video, released in October 2019, was titled BBC Africa Eye’s Sex-for-Grades Documentary. It was part of a year-long investigation in which four academics were secretly filmed. BBC journalists posed as prospective students to expose sexual harassment and misconduct at both the University of Ghana and the University of Lagos.
Professor Gyampo, along with his colleague, Dr. Paul Kwame Butakor, were cleared by the University of Ghana of any wrongdoing in the exposé.
