The Lagos State branch of the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, NANNM, quoted this statistics on Wednesday, while decrying the acute shortage of nurses and midwives at the state and local government levels.

No fewer than 7000 Nigerian nurses have left the country in 2021 alone seeking for greener pastures in other countries, according to records from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria. The NANNM members said they are overworked, noting that a nurse has to cover a 20 bedded ward on a shift, run 24 hours or even 48 hours shifts to attend to patients.

According to Awojide, the mass outward migration of nurses due to poor working conditions and remuneration packages has increased the burden and pressure on those still within the system. “We have observed that the replacement on exit policy of the State government in place is not sufficient to cater to the high level of attrition among nurses and midwives.
