The Ministry of Health has suspended Mr. Fredrick Anaba, Principal of the College of Nursing, Nkanchina, following allegations of over-admission of students and the unauthorized introduction of new academic programmes.
The suspension, announced in a press release dated March 12, 2026, takes immediate effect and paves the way for a comprehensive administrative investigation into the matter. The Ministry explained that the decision followed a query issued on February 19, 2026, regarding the 2025/2026 admissions. After reviewing Mr. Anaba’s response, officials determined that a full probe was necessary to establish the facts.
In the interim, Mr. Anaba has been directed to hand over the administration and management of the College to the Acting Vice Principal to ensure the smooth running of the institution.
The Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to strict compliance with admission quotas and approved academic programmes across all health training institutions. It assured stakeholders that further updates would be provided upon completion of the investigation.
The suspension underscores the Ministry’s resolve to safeguard standards in health education and ensure that training institutions operate within approved guidelines to maintain quality and accountability.
