Nigerian nurses are stranded in various Countries following the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, NMCN, continuous closure of its portal for verification of nurses’ certificates.(The closure of the portal is part of revised guidelines introduced by the NMCN to address the mass exodus of nurses from Nigeria)
It was gathered that while many nurses are currently stranded in different countries abroad, others are on the verge of being deported.
The National Assembly had twice urged the NMCN to open its site and commence verification of Nurses and Midwives based on its former guidelines pending the conclusion of an investigation by the House Committee on Health Institutions.
However, the council has yet to heed the resolution of the House.
