The Ministry of Health has suspended the Principal of the College of Nursing, Nkanchina, Fredrick Anaba, over alleged over-admission of students and the introduction of unapproved academic programmes.
According to a press release issued by the Ministry, the suspension takes immediate effect and will remain in place pending the outcome of a comprehensive administrative investigation into the matter.
The Ministry explained that the decision follows a query it issued on February 19, 2026, regarding the institution’s 2025/2026 admissions process. After reviewing the response submitted by Mr. Anaba, authorities determined that a full investigation was necessary to establish the facts surrounding the alleged irregularities.
In the meantime, 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 enforcing strict compliance with approved admission quotas and accredited academic programmes across all health training institutions in the country.
Head of Public Relations at the Ministry, Isaac Ofei Baah, signed the statement dated March 12, 2026, noting that further updates will be provided once the investigation is concluded.
