In a powerful and eye-opening conversation on AAU TV, Professor Goski Alabi, a respected figure in education and leadership, revealed a surprising chapter of her personal journey, her rejection from Ghana School of Law.
Prof. Goski Alabi recounted how, shortly after the National Democratic Congress (NDC) lost office, she applied to pursue legal education. Despite her impressive credentials and contributions to academia, her application was unsuccessful. She believes a key moment in the interview may have influenced the outcome; when she disclosed that she was married to Professor Joshua Alabi, a prominent politician and leading member of the NDC.
The revelation raises difficult questions. Was the rejection a matter of political bias, given the timing of her husband’s party losing power? Was it rooted in personal prejudice? Or could it reflect deeper systemic issues within Ghana’s academic and professional institutions?
For Prof. Goski Alabi, the experience was not just about denial of access to law school but resilience, integrity, and the broader challenges of navigating public life in Ghana. Her story sheds light on the unseen struggles that even accomplished professionals face when politics and education intersect.
Despite the setback, she has continued to blaze trails in higher education, leadership, and advocacy. In the interview, she emphasized that such challenges only strengthen her resolve to remain a voice for fairness, excellence, and integrity in Ghana’s public and academic spaces.
The interview offers a candid glimpse into Prof. Goski Alabi’s journey one marked by resilience and courage in the face of institutional and political hurdles.
