Kano State Ministry of Health through the ministry spokesperson Mrs Haduza Namadi in a statement on Friday has sealed 26 private health training institutes for their illegal operations and lack of proper regulations governing their establishment.

She listed some of the affected institutions to include Unity and Utopia College of Health Sciences and Technology, Sir Sanusi and Aminu Ado Bayero College of Health Sciences and Technology, among others.
She announced that the affected institutions were shut down with immediate effect, pending the outcome of investigations by the authorities and also plead with the public to adhere to the decisions of the government.
