The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (NMCN) is the body charged with the regulation of both training and practice of nursing and Midwifery in Nigeria. They are the body charged with overseeing Nursing Education in Nigeria by granting accreditation and withdrawing same to and from deserving institutions. In this article, I will be listing for you, all the NMCN-approved Midwifery and Nursing schools in Nigeria.
The Midwifery and Nursing Schools in Nigeria listed here are those that are currently approved by the council. It is important to note that the council has the right to withdraw the approval or accreditation from any of the Nursing Schools in Nigeria if they are found wanting in any of the recommendations of the Council. Therefore, the list is subject to review.
This list aims to serve as a guide for parents and guardians who are seeking admission for their children and wards into any of the Nursing schools in Nigeria. This ensures that you and your wards do not make the wrong choice of entering into the wrong hands.
In the table containing the Nursing Schools in Nigeria below, all the Nursing Schools in Nigeria are listed state by state. This ensures that it will be very easy for you to locate the School of Nursing in your state or State of interest. The Nursing Schools in Nigeria below contain the current list. We update the list each time the council updates their list of approved Nursing Schools in Nigeria.
