Sorry,i did'nt get your question.Did you graduated from nigeria or you want to relocate to Nigeria to practise after a completion of a degree from a foreign country?

i dint graduate in Nigeria, but i am planning to go to Nigeria for my NYSC and license, i would like to talk to a nurse who graduated in Nigeria if there is any on this forum

The body that regulates licensure in Nigeria is Nursing and Midwifery Council is located in Lagos.The requirements for a foreign nurse licensure is a bit differ for what will have here in the states.You will be require to submits transcripts,license from the country you graduated.It usually takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks for the procees and not require to take any test except your studies were taken in another language other than English. I did graduauted from School of Nursing University College Hospital Ibadan,Oyo State then moved to the states to further my studies. I hope this little information helps.

I am processing my license now

when i got back home to Nigeria

I got a form from the nursing council in abuja, which i had to send to my school for stamping and verification

And my school had to send the verification form and my transcript directly to the nursing council in lagos

After all that was done and the Nursing council got my verification and transcript from my school

they sent a letter to me referring me to one of the nursing schools in Nigeria where they said i had to spend one year, before which they can give me the licence

if you have any question
let me know

wow what a process omg joache where did you get your license originally

@yamkuza

thanks so much i really appreciate it

@ agiboma yah long process
but since you gratuated from canada and have a licence from canada u will only have to spend 3 months in the hospital for clinical adaptation,,, im sure by now you done all that, good luck to us
