The National Coalition of NGOs and Civil Society Organizations in Nigeria (NCNCSON) has called on Taraba State Governor Agbu Kefas to intervene in the leadership crisis at the Taraba State College of Nursing and Midwifery in Jalingo, warning that the institution’s reputation and global standing in nursing education could be at risk.

The coalition expressed concerns over mismanagement, lack of adherence to retirement protocols, and non-compliance with regulatory standards, which threaten the college’s credibility.

In a press statement, Fidelis Nashuka, the state president of NCNCSON, urged the governor to take immediate action to prevent the collapse of the institution.

The coalition recommended several steps, including ensuring a transparent transition to competent leadership, improving compliance with civil service rules, and reassigning the college to the Ministry of Tertiary Education for better oversight.

They also called for the empowerment of the college’s governing council and the introduction of leadership development programs to promote professional and academic excellence.

The coalition further appealed to the state government and relevant authorities to investigate the crisis and resolve the issues to preserve the institution’s integrity and align with the governor’s educational policies.
