Why Ogun varsity's nursing department was shut
During the enforcement exercise on Tuesday, February 20, the permanent secretary of the state's ministry of health, Kayode Oladehinde, posited that the action of the institution was one of the factors responsible for quackery in the medical profession.
Oladehinde also said such posed threats to the health of the people in the state.
He further revealed that the institution's nursing department would not be opened if it was not accredited.
Serifat Aminu, the acting director of nursing services, who spoke on behalf of Oladehinde, said every nursing degree obtained from the Harvarde College and other similar institutions without being accredited by the NMCN would remain worthless.
Aminu maintained that graduates from such schools would be denied certification to practice in Nigeria and other parts of the world.
