Nigerian health professionals, including nurses, have condemned the new requirements set by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) for anyone wishing to verify their certificates with overseas nursing boards or councils.
The new standard requires Nigerian nurses and other health workers seeking verification of certificates to foreign nursing boards or councils to have two years post-qualification experience.
