The nurses, represented by the National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives, are protesting against the new verification certification guidelines released by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria.
Their concerns include addressing unemployment among nurses, addressing quackery, and improving nurses’ welfare.
The protest occurred in both Abuja and Lagos, with nurses advocating for their rights and calling on the council to address various issues, such as salary scale and staff shortages.
The NMCN had recently revised the verification guidelines, leading to discontent among the nursing community.
