Katsina Gov. Dikko Radda Sets Strict Regulatory Standards For Health Institutions

Katsina Gov. Dikko Radda sets strict regulatory standards for health institutions. Katsina State Governor, Dikko Radda, has announced that only health training institutions that meet regulatory requirements will be allowed to operate in the state.

The governor made this disclosure after receiving the comprehensive evaluation report on the state’s College of Health Sciences and Technology (COHESKAT) and 31 private health training institutions (PHTIs) operating across the state.

Mr Radda commended the committee for its thorough work and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to upholding high educational standards in healthcare training.

“We must ensure that only qualified institutions operate in Katsina State,” the governor stated.

Mr Radda also directed the immediate establishment of a white paper committee to implement the panel’s recommendations.

Earlier, the Chairman of the Committee and Commissioner for Lands and Physical Planning, Faisal Umar, said that many private health institutions in the state had significant deficiencies.

He further noted that the report showed only nine out of the 31 private health colleges met the necessary operational standards.

Mr Umar stated, “The majority of the private health training institutions visited are unfit to operate in the state due to noncompliance with both regulatory and professional standards.”

NNPP Slams Nasir El-Rufai Over Comment, Denies APC Responsible For Party’s Crisis

NNPP slams Nasir El-Rufai over comment, denies APC responsible for party’s crisis. The NNPP advised El-Rufai to know that the choice of who rules Nigeria in 2027 cannot be determined by him.

The New Nigeria Peoples Party has said the claim by a former governor of Kaduna State, Nasir El-Rufai, that the ruling All Progressives Congress caused its crisis is false and condemnable.

The party spoke on the backdrop of the recent allegations by Mr El-Rufai that the crises in PDP, Labour Party and NNPP were caused and fuelled by the APC.

Recall that Mr El-Rufai alleged that the APC was behind the internal crises rocking the opposition political parties.

In a viral video on X on Tuesday, Mr El-Rufai claimed that President Bola Tinubu’s administration was deliberately sponsoring disputes within these parties to weaken their leadership.

In a statement in Lagos on Wednesday, NNPP’s National Chairman, Dr Agbo Major, said that the party was compelled to respond to Mr El-Rufai because his utterances linking the NNPP challenges to the APC were misguided.

He said, “El-Rufai’s assertions were inaccurate information he may have gathered from enemies of NNPP’s internal democratic processes.”

Mr Major pointed out that the crisis in NNPP which had been resolved, was as a result of the inordinate ambition of some members in total disregard for agreements and party rules and regulations.

The party stated, “The genesis of the crisis in NNPP erupted shortly after the 2023 general elections as a result of termination of a Memorandum of Understanding  that struck a temporary union,  between the NNPP, The National Movement (TNM) and the Kwankwasiyya Movement.

The genesis and progress of the disagreement has been vigorously put there in the open, using all media platforms since 2023.

El-Rufai

If the ordinary and uneducated Nigerians are familiar with the facts about the raging crisis, then it’s disappointing for El-Rufai to come to the open media to make such unguarded and unacceptable statement. Nigerians are no longer to be deceived.
El-Rufai must know that the choice of who rules Nigeria come 2027 can never be determined by him.”

The national chairman urged El-Rufai to stay away from NNPP issues, as the party was not an opposition to any other, including the APC.

He said the subject matter in Nigeria should be welfare and wellbeing of Nigerians through good governance, hard work, collaboration and observance of the rule of law.
