The Ministry of Health has suspended the Principal of the College of Nursing Nkanchina, Fredrick Anaba, with immediate effect, following allegations of unapproved admissions and the introduction of unauthorised academic programmes.
According to the ministry, the suspension is part of a comprehensive administrative investigation into the institution’s 2025/2026 admissions.
In a press statement issued on March 12, the Ministry explained that a query was initially sent to the Principal on February 19, 2026, regarding irregularities in the admissions process.
“After reviewing his response submitted by the Principal, the Ministry determined that a full investigation is necessary to establish the facts surrounding the matter,” parts of the statement noted.
Mr. Anaba has been directed to hand over administrative responsibilities to the Acting Vice Principal to ensure smooth operations at the college during the investigation.
“The Ministry remains committed to upholding strict compliance with admission quotas and approved academic programmes across all health training institutions,” the statement added.
