Rev. Lawrence Tetteh apologizes to UG for HIV comment

Founder of Worldwide Miracle Outreach, Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh has apologized to the University of Ghana for comments he made on the GTV Breakfast Show on Thursday, October 24, 2024.

In a statement released on October 29, Rev. Dr. Tetteh expressed regret over his remarks, which he said were not intended to undermine the university, create fear, create stigma or mislead the public.

During the show, Rev. Dr. Tetteh spoke to the university students about some sensitive youth health issues such as HIV.

The institution found his statement distasteful and condemned him, demanding an apology.

In today’s response, the cleric clarified that his intention was not to single out the university or its students, but rather to highlight the wider issues facing young people.

Rev Dr Tetteh said his responsibilities include dealing with many people who share confidential information on personal and sensitive matters.

He emphasized his commitment to maintaining the privacy of those who trust him and acknowledged the unintended impact of his comments.

“It is very unfortunate that by speaking about youths with such problems, I associated or associated them with students of the University of Ghana, thereby giving cause for concern to the university community,” Rev. Dr. Tetteh said in his apology.

He retracted his statements and again expressed deep regret for the suffering he had caused.

Rev. Dr. Tetteh reiterated his respect for the institution and the trust placed in it by those who share personal information with him.
