…What brings the politico-anti-faith undertone in sealing off the private health technology colleges, do the proprietors belong to the same faith and the sealing off committee belong to a different faith? – Inquisitive mind
…Why do the state government and regulatory bodies issue licenses to operate the colleges in the first place if they haven’t met the requirements…
Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri of Adamawa State has warned the proprietors of private college of health, science and technology to stop guising under religion to achieve their selfish interest at the detriment of the society.
Fintiri gave the warning Thursday, when he hosted the operators of the institution at the Government House in Yola, the state capital.
Fintiri told the proprietors that sealing off the colleges was not meant to wichunt them but to ensure quality control for the best interest of the state.
Fintiri expressed concern how some of the operators of these colleges have turned the issue into a religious affair, calling on them to refrain as no religion tolerates quackery.
For the sake of fairness, Fintiri therefore set up a committee of professionals to further examine the operations of the colleges and the levels of compliance then report back to the government for further action.
Fintiri suggested to the proprietors of the affected colleges to form clusters rather than operating individually, for efficiency and effectiveness, where he assured of the government’s readiness to assist where necessary.
In his remarks, leader of the on behalf of the proprietors, Ahmed Usman reiterated that the colleges have been steadily complying to the rules and restraints as evidenced in their obtaining operational licenses from the state government and other regulatory bodies in the country that would ensure accreditation for the programmes run by the colleges.
Usman assured that the colleges were established to complement the efforts of the government owned health institution and proprietors have met all the requirements for operation.
