The Ministry of Health (Ghana) has suspended Fredrick Anaba, Principal of the College of Nursing, Nkanchina, following allegations of over-admitting students and introducing unapproved academic programmes.
The suspension comes as the Ministry launches a full administrative investigation into the matter.
Mr Anaba was first queried on 19 February 2026 regarding admissions for the 2025/2026 academic year.
After reviewing his response, the Ministry of Health determined that a comprehensive investigation is needed to clarify the circumstances surrounding the alleged irregularities.
In the meantime, Mr. Anaba has been directed to hand over management duties to the Acting Vice Principal to ensure the college continues to operate smoothly.
The Ministry emphasised its commitment to strict adherence to admission quotas and approved academic programmes across all health training institutions, highlighting the role of compliance in maintaining educational standards.
Further updates will be provided once the investigation is complete.
The statement was issued by Isaac Ofei Baah, Head of Public Relations at the Ministry of Health, on Thursday, 12 March.
