The Nursing & Midwifery Council of Nigeria (N&MCN) Released Results For The 2023 Professional Examinations (General And Post Basic Nursing) A Day After The Examinations—The Fastest In History! 

Under the visionary leadership of our present secretary-general/registrar, Faruk Umar Abubakar (PhD), the Council has witnessed a significant transformation by introducing digitalisation in the examination process. 

Last year, I wrote about the digitalisation of the examination process, lauding it as an important step towards digitalising healthcare in Nigeria and Africa. 

While we may be trailing behind other nations in the digitalisation of healthcare, it’s crucial to acknowledge and celebrate our significant progress, even in the form of small wins. 

In the future, we hope to see more improvements in the professional services offered by the Apex Nursing Regulatory Body in the country. There’s still a lot of ground to cover as far as innovation is concerned. 

The Council is a significant force that can drive Nigeria’s nursing profession and healthcare ecosystem into the next phase of digital growth and expansion. 

As we navigate the digital transformation in healthcare, we must recognise that nurses are the key drivers of this change. Placing them at the forefront of our strategies is not just a necessity but a strategic move for significant impact. 

This feat requires bold and visionary leadership. The current registrar has demonstrated such leadership, as revealed in the numerous innovative reforms and transformations in The Council so far.

We congratulate all the newly qualified nurses and wish them success in their future endeavours as healthcare professionals. 

In the coming weeks, we will publish a couple of articles to help new nurses navigate the new world they have found themselves in.
