KATSINA CLOSED HEALTH INSTITUTIONS EXPRESS CONCERN OVER HEALTH ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES IN SABUWA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA
By Our Correspondent, Katsina
The Coalition of Closed Health Tertiary Institutions in Katsina State wishes to express its concern regarding the reported secret operation of health-related academic programmes at the Ajiyan Kogon Katsina College of Health Sciences and Technology, Sabuwa, located in Sabuwa Local Government Area unveiled by an online newsfeed verified news .
In a statement signed by the Chairman, Alhaji Sani Ahamed, the Coalition noted that the institution is operating in the home local government area of the Special Adviser to the Governor on Tertiary Health Institutions, Alhaji Umar Mammada Adamu, who also serves on the state committee mandated to sanitize health-related institutions.
The Association views this development as inappropriate and urges the Special Adviser to clarify his awareness of, and relationship with, the institution, and also to apologize to His Excellency Dr Dikko Umar Radda on his deletion of duty.
The Coalition lamented that while most of the schools closed by government met the requirements listed for operations by the SA in his interview with Verified News, they have remained closed for 14 months , while Ajiyan Kogo that was far from reaching the requirements has been operating unhindered .
The Association remains committed to supporting the Katsina State Government in its efforts to ensure that all health-related tertiary institutions operate in full compliance with regulatory standards, under just , fair and equitable conditions.
