Nigeria needs you more than Europe or America – Registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria begs nurses not to ‘japa’

The Registrar of the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria, Alhassan Ndagi, has appealed to Nigerian nurses not to relocate as Nigeria needs their services more than Europe or America.

Ndagi made the appeal while speaking at the induction of 37 Nursing students in Osogbo over the weekend. 

Represented by Stella Godswill, Ndagi encouraged the newly inducted nurses to stay committed to their profession despite the difficult economic situation in the country.

“While some of you may seek opportunities to travel abroad, remember that a first degree is just the beginning of this fulfilling career. Though economic challenges may exist, Nigeria needs you more than Western countries,” Ndagi said.
