Nigeria: ICPC Shuts Fake Nursing College In Enugu

Adetokunbo Fakeye

London, April 3, 2019 (AltAfrica)-A fake medical and nursing college, the International College of Professions, located in Nsukka, Enugu State,South East Nigeria has been shut by the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC).

The school, located in a decrepit and run-down one-storey building in Eha Alumona, an outskirt of Nsukka, has faculty of applied and natural sciences, with degree programmes in basic and advanced auxiliary nursing, medicine and surgery, as well as Public Relations and Mass Communication.

The Rector of the fake college, Rev. Dr. Nnamdi Obiukwu, had told ICPC operatives that the school was affiliated to California University FCE, with accreditation from the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Ministry of Education, Enugu State.

But checks by the operatives indicate that such accreditation does not exist, as the fake college was only given approval by the Enugu State Ministry of Education to run vocational programmes.

ICPC operatives also discovered that the school had just four staff on its payroll. A Registrar that doubles as lecturer, while there are two full-time lecturers and a another as part-time. None of the lecturers has the requisite qualifications.

The college has over 20 students from first year to final year, paying over N45, 000 per semester. While final year students have been made to pay as much as N250, 000 as graduation fees.

It is estimated that the students of the college, which is also called Revo International College, have been defrauded of over N2.6 million since it began its illegal programmes in 2016. 

For a purported medical and nursing institution, it was rather strange that its notice board displayed that it was offering courses in Mass Communication but the Rector revealed on interrogation that no student had yet been enrolled for the course.

Confirming the report, ICPC Spokesperson, Mrs Rasheedat Okoduwa said, the Commission is committed to ensuring that all illegal schools operating in the country are closed down and the owners made to face the wrath of the law
