The Ministry of Health has suspended the Principal of the College of Nursing, Nkanchina, Frederick Anaba. This decision was made with immediate effect.

The suspension comes pending investigations into alleged admission irregularities. Unapproved academic programs were reportedly introduced at the college.

A press release from the Ministry of Health on March 12, 2026, detailed the reasons for the action. The probe is part of broader administrative checks.

Mr. Anaba's suspension means he will not perform his duties as principal during the investigation period. The ministry aims to ensure academic standards are maintained.

The College of Nursing Nkanchina is a key institution for training nurses. Ensuring its operational integrity is a priority for the Ministry of Health.

Further details regarding the investigation's findings will be released at a later date. The outcome will determine future actions concerning the college and its leadership.
