Responding to newsmen in her office, the Permanent Secretary, Cross River State Ministry of Health, Dr Pauline Obute disclosed that there is no college known as College of Nursing Ogoja, rather the regulatory body Nursing and Midwifery Council Of Nigeria (NMCN) gave approval to the Cross River State Government to run two(2) extra colleges to include ; College of Nursing Calabar to consist of school of Nursing Calabar and school of Midwifery Calabar while the college of Nursing Sciences Obudu was beamed to consist of school of Nursing Ogoja, School of Midwifery Monaiya and School Of Midwifery Obudu. Considering the available resources of Manpower in these schools .
According to her there is no plan or contemplation by the Governor, Prof Ben Ayade or the Honourable Commissioner For Health- Dr. Janet Ekpenyong to relocate the school of Nursing as speculated on social media from Ogoja to Obudu. Rather in a bid to beat the NMCN deadline of closure of schools, the Honourable Commisioner For Health is working assiduously to ensuring that no school in the state is lost but that School of Nursing Ogoja like other two (2) schools in the Northern Senatorial District operate and coexist as a college of Nursing Obudu following the NMCN assessment and approval of 22nd June, 2022 and this is without moving, relocating or closing the school(s) in the North or Ogoja particularly to Obudu as all existing schools and structures remains.
When contacted, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor noted that the State Governor, Prof Ben Ayade has over time magnanimously concentrated programmes in Ogoja by converting and collapsing all post Basic Programs in the state and this is evident as only the school of Midwifery Monaiya in Ogoja has the following ; Post Basic Midwifery in CRS, Basic Midwifery Programme, Community Midwifery and Midwifery Refreshers Programme.
He advised the general public to disregard any falsehood on the social media and stay calm as there is no plan of relocating the existing schools in the Northern Senatorial District or Ogoja, particularly to Obudu or anywhere else as wrongly speculated.
