The Plateau State Government has dissociated itself from signing an illegal Memorandum of Understanding (mou) with a proposed Hill School of Nursing and Midwifery Jos.

Commissioner of Health in the State Dr. Nimkong Ndam Lar revealed this on Wednesday in Jos.

He said the Hill School of Nursing and Midwifery is a proposed school which is yet to fulfill the approved requirements of the State Government.

Lar noted that Government will place sanction on Hill school and any institution found violating the state order.

“It has come to the notice of Plateau State government through the Ministry of Health that an illegal Memorandum of Understanding (mou) is going round our public health training and practicing institutions to use them as practice areas for a proposed Hill School of Nursing and Midwifery Jos yet to be approved”.

He added that the Ministry of Health is the only Organ saddled with the responsibility of committing the government into any partnership with organisations pertaining to health matters in the state.

“Therefore, the Ministry of Health is dissociating itself from the said memorandum of Understanding by the proprietor of proposed Hill School of Nursing and Midwifery Jos”.

Dr. Lar warned that no illegal school of Nursing will operate in the state without fulfilling the basic requirements.
