Government issues new directives on private health colleges

Governor Ahmadu Fintiri has approved the reopening of Sa’adatu College of Health Technology, Mubi, following a review by the Committee on Private Health Colleges.

Eight other colleges were given 6–12 months to upgrade their facilities, staffing, and accreditation before reopening, while 15 colleges that failed to meet minimum standards will remain closed.

Governor Fintiri urged all affected institutions to comply with the committee’s recommendations to ensure quality healthcare education and directed the Ministry of Health to conduct a final assessment before any reopening.
