Reps halt controversial guidelines for verification of nurses, midwives
On Tuesday, the House of Representatives halted the implementation of controversial revised guidelines for verification of certificates of nursing and midwifery issued by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria.
The resolution was passed as a sequel to the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance sponsored by Hon. Patrick Umoh, who frowned at the circumstances surrounding the revised regulations.
In his lead debate, Hon. Umoh observed the enactment of the Nursing and Midwifery (Registration, etc.) Act, Cap. N143, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004, by the National Assembly for the regulation and control of the nursing and midwifery profession in Nigeria.
“The House also notes the Revised Guidelines for Verification of Certificate(s) dated February 7, 2024, issued by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, which will come into force on March 1, 2024.
“The House further notes that the Revised Guidelines, among others, stipulate that applicants for verification must have a minimum of two years post-qualification experience from the date of issuance of a permanent practice licence; obtain a letter of good standing from the Chief Executive Officer of the applicant’s place of work and the last training institution attended; and that the processing of the application shall take a minimum of six months.
“The House is aware of the concerns, protests, and stiff opposition to the implementation of the revised guidelines by health professionals led by the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives.
“The House is also aware that verification of certificates is to confirm and authenticate an already existing certificate issued by the Nursing and Midwifery Council; therefore, the requirement for two years of post-qualification experience before verification of a certificate is unreasonable, arbitrary, and unfair, as it may, among other things, restrict the freedom of nurses seeking education or additional skills and training in foreign universities.
“The House is further aware that the National Assembly is the body empowered by the Constitution to make laws for the country, and the requirement of two years post-qualification experience by the Nursing and Midwifery Council is to legislate through the back door, and therefore a usurpation of the powers of the National Assembly.
“The House is worried that the requirement that applicants for verification must obtain a letter of good standing from the Chief Executive Officer of the applicant’s place of work is capable of creating forced labour and modern slavery as the applicant will be forced to be subject to the whims and caprices of the applicant’s employer.”
Worried by the development, the House urged the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria not to implement the Revised Guidelines for Verification dated February 7, 2023, pending the investigation by the House.
To this end, the House mandated the joint Committees on Health Institutions and Legislative Compliance to ensure compliance with the resolution, investigate the controversy surrounding the revised guidelines, and report to the House within six weeks.
#NOTONMCNVERIFICATIONRULES
The voice calling for the withdrawal of the revised guideline for verification released by NMCN is strong and irresistible.
Never again shall nurses remain silent in the face of tyranny.
Exciting News💃💃
Many thanks to Hon. Patrick Umoh (Akwa-Ibom) for speaking out at the plenary session in Abuja today,Tuesday and the general house for supporting the halt of the @Nigeria_NMC revised verification guidelines.

#NotoNMCNVerificationrule
Nigerian nurses are not NMCN property
Nigerian nurses are not government property
Nigerian nurses were not trained for free.
Nigerian nurses are professionals who worked hard to earn their licences.
Their license is not the property of the NMCN or government!!!
#NotoNMCNverificationrules
On this day, our peaceful protest commences with optimism and a plea for fairness. The NMCN is poised to thoughtfully examine the circular, and we eagerly anticipate favorable outcomes for us, the dedicated Nigerian nurses.
NMCN Anti-People Policy!
When Injustice becomes Law, Resistance becomes our greatest Duty!!!
The anti-people policy of the NMCN, will not be accepted!!!
We will Occupy Streets!!! I will be on the Streets!!!
This is the highest echelon of Tyranny!!
