The Ministry of Health has suspended Fredrick Anaba, Principal of the College of Nursing, Nkanchina, over allegations of over-admission of students and the introduction of unapproved academic programmes.
The suspension follows the launch of a full administrative investigation by the Ministry into the reported irregularities.
Mr Anaba was initially queried on 19 February 2026 concerning admissions for the 2025/2026 academic year.
After reviewing his response, the Ministry determined that a comprehensive investigation was required to establish the full facts surrounding the alleged breaches.
Pending the outcome of the probe, the Principal has been directed to hand over management responsibilities to the Acting Vice Principal to ensure uninterrupted operations at the college.
In a statement, the Ministry reaffirmed its commitment to enforcing strict compliance with approved admission quotas and academic programmes across all health training institutions, emphasising that adherence to these standards is essential for upholding quality education and professional training in the health sector.
