Chioma Umeha
Lagos State Government has dissociated itself from fake
advertorials making the rounds on the internet about admission into the State
School of Nursing.
In a statement signed by Mrs. Adeola Salako, Director,
Public Affairs, the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Health, Dr. Modele
Osunkiyesi who made this known today through a signed disclaimer notice to the
public stated that the attention of the Ministry of Health has been drawn to
the activities of some unscrupulous group of people who place the fake
advertisements on the internet.
She further revealed that these dubious people invite
unsuspecting individuals to pay into their personal accounts.
“Some go by spurious names and false identities such as Dr.
Bello of Alimosho General Hospital or Professor Adeleke of Lagos State
University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) or Lagos University Teaching Hospital,
Igando and they invite unsuspecting individuals to pay into their personal
accounts”, Osunkiyesi noted.
The Permanent Secretary urged members of the Public to
disregard any information on the internet about purported admission forms
adding that all enquiries regarding admission into the State School of Nursing
should be channeled to the Coordinator, Lagos State School of Nursing Complex,
Alimosho General Hospital, Igando.
“Lagos State Ministry of Health will not by text message or
e-mail, request any prospective candidate for admission into the Lagos State
School of Nursing, Igando to pay any money into an agent’s individual or
corporate bank account”, she stated.
Osunkiyesi further added that clarifications regarding sale
of forms and admission procedures can be obtained from the following telephone
numbers; 08176981957 or 08033061863.
The Permanent Secretary while also advising members of the
public to be vigilant stated that anyone who deals with these touts does so at
his or her own risk.
