Nurses affiliated with the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives (NANNM), representing both Abuja and Lagos chapters, have staged protests against the recent circular issued by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) regarding certificate verification………CONTINUE READING
Gathering at the NMCN offices in Abuja and Lagos, the nurses expressed their discontent with the new guidelines and threatened a nationwide strike, asserting that the regulations were an attempt to curb their freedom.
The NMCN’s revised guidelines, disclosed in a memo dated 7th February by CEO and Registrar Faruk Abubakar, dictate that individuals seeking certificate verification from foreign nursing boards must possess a minimum of two years of post-qualification experience from the date of obtaining the permanent practicing license.
Amid the protests, one nurse named Margaret voiced her objection to the modified guidelines, contending that the NMCN lacked the authority to restrict their movements within Nigeria. Margaret argued that nurses in the country face financial challenges throughout their education and career, paying hefty fees for their nursing studies and practical experiences.
Speaking to Vanguard, Margaret expressed frustration, emphasizing that nurses in Nigeria do not receive government subsidies or enjoy free education. She insisted that nurses should be allowed to work in Nigeria or abroad without unnecessary constraints, citing freedom of movement, speech, and human rights.
Margaret advocated for a streamlined verification process, demanding completion within 24 hours and at no cost, given that nurses already pay for their licenses and renewals. She questioned the need for a letter of good standing from employers, arguing that the responsibility for verification lies with the regulatory body, not the employer.
Margaret warned against coercive measures that might force nurses to return to Nigeria against their will, expressing concern about the impact on public health if nurses were compelled to work under unfavorable conditions. She stressed the importance of nurturing a dynamic nursing system in Nigeria, aligned with international standards, and urged authorities not to impede the profession’s progress.
