LAGOS SHUTS IKORODU HEALTH COLLEGE OVER ILLEGAL NURSING PROGRAMME, ARRESTS DIRECTOR

The Lagos State Government has sealed Tower College of Health Sciences, Gberigbe, Ikorodu, for allegedly operating an unaccredited nursing programme.

The enforcement, carried out on Thursday, was led by officials from the Directorate of Nursing Services (DNS) of the state’s Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the Nursing and Midwifery Committee of Lagos State, the National Association of Nigerian Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), and operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS).

During the operation, the director of the institution, Mr. Femi Ajekigbe, was arrested and taken into custody for questioning and possible prosecution.

Speaking with journalists after the exercise, the Director of Nursing Services, Mrs. Sola Aketi, said the school had been previously warned about its illegal operations.

She revealed that an inspection carried out by the state’s Nursing and Midwifery Committee on January 20 uncovered multiple irregularities, including the lack of basic academic and infrastructural standards required for accreditation by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN).

“As a result of this closure, the illegal institution will cease all nursing training and educational activities with immediate effect,” Aketi said. “We have several of these schools across the state, and we will not stop until they are all shut down.”

She added that Tower College is one of many unapproved institutions operating within Lagos and reaffirmed the state’s commitment to sanitizing the nursing education system.
