The Ministry of Health has suspended Fredrick Anaba, Principal of the College of Nursing Nkanchina, with immediate effect over allegations of over-admitting students and introducing unauthorised academic programmes.
In a press release issued on March 12, the Ministry explained that the suspension is part of a comprehensive administrative investigation into the 2025/2026 admissions at the institution.
The statement noted that a query was initially sent to the Principal on February 19, 2026, regarding irregularities in the admissions process. After reviewing his response, the Ministry decided that a full investigation is required to establish the facts.
The Ministry has directed Mr. Anaba 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 enforcing strict compliance with approved admission quotas and academic programmes across all health training institutions in the country,” the statement added.
