The Minister for Health, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has directed an immediate investigation into the admission process at the Nalerigu Nursing and Midwifery College.

This decision comes after reports surfaced alleging that the college admitted a significantly higher number of students than its approved quota.

Minister Akandoh received information about potential non-compliance with government directives concerning student intake.

The investigation aims to ascertain the facts surrounding the admissions and verify the extent of the alleged over-admission.

Official figures for the college's approved student intake are being reviewed as part of the inquiry.

The Minister made the announcement while on a courtesy visit to the North East Region.

Further actions will be determined based on the findings of the investigation.

This situation highlights the importance of adhering to established protocols in educational institutions.
