Tamale Nursing School Accused of Extorting GHC 260 in Illegal Fees from Admission Seekers

Tamale Nursing School

The Tamale Nursing and Midwifery Training School faces public backlash over allegations of allegedly coercing prospective students into paying illegal fees totaling GHC260 during admissions. 

A post by Basiru Bejejegu claims that applicants report being charged GHC 200 as a mandatory “interview fee” before entry, followed by an additional GHC 60 labeled as “accommodation fees” despite many not using campus lodging. 

While sources confirm that even local applicants, who slept at home, were forced to pay the accommodation charge.
