The Ministry of Health has suspended the Principal of the College of Nursing, Nkanchina, Mr. Fredrick Anaba, with immediate effect over alleged over‑admission of students and the introduction of unapproved academic programmes at the institution.
In a statement signed by the Head of Public Relations, Isaac Ofei Baah, the Ministry said the action is to allow for a comprehensive administrative investigation into the suspected breaches of admission quotas and programme approvals at the college.
The decision follows a query issued to the Principal on February 19, 2026, regarding the 2025/2026 admissions into the College of Nursing, Nkanchina. After assessing his response, the Ministry concluded that a full‑scale probe was required to establish the facts surrounding the alleged irregularities.
Pending the outcome of the investigation, 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 academic and administrative activities.
The Ministry reiterated its commitment to ensuring strict adherence to approved admission quotas and accredited academic programmes across all health training institutions in the country, warning that any head found culpable of breaching laid‑down procedures will face sanctions.
According to the statement, further updates will be communicated to the public upon the completion of the investigation.
