In States where NOUN exists the Council is requesting that the Department of Nursing should please sign the Memorandum of Understanding with Department of Nursing from NOUN in order to enable their students’ to use their sister facilities from your University such as Skill Laboratory etc. as the need arises in order to ensure standard and qualitative training of these students is achieved at their end of their studies. However, it may include paying some amount for the consumables and facilities as your institution may deem necessary.

Thank you for your support in promoting and maintaining excellence in Nursing education and practice in Nigeria.

Signed
