The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria (abbr. NMCN), is the sole governing body that regulates all cadres of nurses and midwives in Nigeria.[1][2] It was established by government decree in 1979, and re-established as a parastatal by the government of Nigeria by Act Cap. No 143 Laws of the Federation of Nigeria, 2004.[3][4]
The Council maintains standards of practice, and enforces discipline within the Nigerian nursing profession.[5] It also accredits education in nursing and midwifery, awarding certificates and a diploma in midwifery and nursing after a three years programme.[6][7] The Council is headed by secretary General/Registrar, who is helped by other professional and non-professional staff.[8] They are responsible to a board reporting to the Federal Ministry of Health.[9][10]
Originally founded in 1949 as the Nursing Council of Nigeria, it operated in parallel with the Midwives Board of Nigeria, until a government decree of 1979 which merged the organizations.[11] The Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria was formally established by decree No. 89, 1979.[12]Adetoun Bailey was the first registrar.[13]
