Our publicaation had read:
The Board of Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria had, at its 42nd General Meeting, withdrew the accreditation status of your School and placed embargo on students’ intake with immediate effect.
The action is in line with section 14, subsection 2 of the Nursing and Midwife, Council Act 2004 for your inability to re-apply for accreditation which is due for the last three (3) years in spite of several directives from the Council.
In addition. you are expected to update the payment of your accreditation fees from the time your status expired in order to maintain regulatory activities such as indexing, examination etc
Please note that by this, your School cannot admit students for 2017/2018 academic session.
Thank you for your cooperation in promoting and maintaining excellence In Nursing Education and Practice in Nigeria.
