Nigerian Nurses in UK and US Forced Back Home Over Delay in Certificate Verification

The sudden deactivation of the verification portal by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria in February has plunged countless Nigerian nurses and midwives working abroad into turmoil.

Currently, healthcare workers are encountering hurdles in renewing their licenses and meeting the regulatory requirements set by international bodies.

Already, some nurses without the necessary verification from the NMCN find themselves in violation of visa conditions and employment laws, resulting in legal consequences.
