House Of Representatives,Nurses And Midwifery Council Of Nigeria,Certificate Verification Guidelines

The House of Representatives has instructed the Nurses and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) to halt the implementation of certificate verification guidelines for nurses. The new guidelines, which require two years of post-qualification experience, have faced criticism from lawmakers.

House of Representatives has ordered the Nurses and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) to immediately stop the implementation of certificate verification guidelines for nurses billed to take effect from March 1, 2024. The NMCN had announced revised guidelines and requirements for individuals applying for certificate verification with foreign nursing boards/councils, a development that has sparked protest.

In the new rules, applicants are required by the council to have no fewer than two years post-qualification experience from the date of issuance of their permanent practising licence. The lawmakers, however, observed that the two years post-qualification experience before verification of certificate is unreasonable, arbitrary and unfair
