BREAKING: Ganduje Declares Dawn To Dusk Curfew As NNPP Wins Guber Election

Governor Abdullahi Ganduje led government of Kano State has reportedly shut down at least twenty-six private colleges of health technology in the state.

The government said the higher institutions were operating illegally, hence they are detrimental to public health, educational development and efficiency of the entire health system in the state.

Announcing the closure of the schools in a statement made available to newsmen on Friday, the Kano State Ministry of Health through its Public Relations Officer, Hadiza Namadi said that some of the colleges were extorting exorbitant fees from parents through their children.

Namadi said: “The Ministry has noticed with serious concern, the incessant proliferation of illegal Private Heath Training Institutions (PHTIs) in the State without recourse to extant regulations governing the establishment and operation of such schools as specified by regulatory bodies and other relevant authorities.

“It is of serious dismay to realize that some of those un-recognized institutions lack definite sites and offer dubious programmes against the established course curricula, while also extorting exorbitant fees on students and their parents.

“Consequently, the general public are hereby informed of the instant shut-down of all illegal Health Training Institutions (HTIs) in the State, pending the outcome of necessary investigations.”
