THE Delta State Ministry of Health has disowned a fraudulent nursing school admission advert currently trending on social media.

The Ministry clarified that it had no connection with the advert and cautioned candidates, guardians, and parents against interacting with the perpetrators or making payments.
Official Admission Channels Reiterated
According to the Ministry, all admissions into Delta State–owned Colleges of Nursing Sciences follow the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) process. The Ministry reiterated that:
-
Direct admission into any College of Nursing is not permitted.
-
Admission forms are never sold by the Ministry, its staff, or authorised agents.
-
No individual, administrator, or phone contact has authority to process admissions or receive payments.
The Ministry described claims regarding the 2026/2027 academic session and listed programmes as entirely false, designed to exploit candidates financially.
Tracking and Legal Measures
The Ministry stressed that the fraudulent advert constitutes impersonation and financial exploitation. Investigations are ongoing to identify those responsible, who will face prosecution under the law.
Applicants are advised to rely exclusively on verified government announcements and information from JAMB. Members of the public can report suspicious activity to the Department of Nursing Services, Delta State Ministry of Health, Asaba.
