The National Association of Polytechnic Students (NAPS) has dismissed circulating claims about Iseyin College of Health, stating that the institution is undergoing a standard accreditation process and should not be mischaracterised.

In a statement signed by its Senate President, Oyewumi Festus Ayomide, and Clerk of the Senate, Jimoh Ibrahim, the association described recent reports about the college as “misleading narratives” that risk creating unnecessary panic among students and parents.

“Let it be stated clearly and without ambiguity: Iseyin College of Health is not a scam,” the statement said.

According to NAPS, the institution is currently undergoing accreditation procedures with the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE), a process it noted involves several stages including documentation, facility inspection, curriculum verification, staffing assessment, and compliance with national standards.

“Accreditation is not an overnight exercise. It is a structured and thorough process,” the association stated, adding that the college has been engaging with the relevant authorities to meet the requirements.

The student body cautioned against spreading unverified information, noting that such actions could mislead prospective students and disrupt confidence in educational institutions.

“We call on all students, stakeholders, and the general public to remain calm, stay informed, and rely on credible updates,” the statement added.

NAPS also appealed to the NBTE to expedite the accreditation process, citing its impact on students awaiting clarity on their academic future.

“Delays in accreditation not only affect the institution but also the aspirations of hundreds of students who are eager to build their future,” the association said.

While reiterating its support for students, NAPS emphasised that it does not condone any form of illegality by institutions and supports due regulatory processes.

The association concluded by urging stakeholders to prioritise accurate information and uphold confidence in the education sector.
