A total of 43 Nigerian nurses have been charged in the United States of America for allegedly fraudulently obtaining educational credentials. This comes after the Texas Board of Nursing conducted high-end investigations, leading to the arrest of 25 additional Nigerian nurses, following the arrest of 18 others in February 2023. The charges include fraudulently obtaining educational credentials, which include certificates and licenses.

It is alleged that these nurses had used fraudulent means to obtain their nursing degrees, diplomas, and licenses, which are a requirement for them to practice in the US. This is not the first time Nigerian nurses have been involved in such fraudulent activities. In 2019, a Nigerian nurse, identified as Oluyemisi Adebayo, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for visa fraud, making false statements, and conspiracy to commit health care fraud.

The charges against these nurses are an embarrassment to the country and its reputation abroad. Nigeria has been battling with issues of corruption, which have affected its reputation and credibility on the international stage. This incident further highlights the need for the Nigerian government to take proactive measures to combat corruption and fraudulent activities.

The Nigerian government has been urged to take the necessary steps to address the issue of corruption, which is a major obstacle to the country’s development. It is important that the government puts in place measures to ensure that such incidents do not occur in the future.

The initial 18 Nigerians charged in the first list include
1. Abiodun Felicia;
2. Adelakun Aveez;
3. Adelekan Adewale;
4. Adeoye Temitope;
4. Adewale Abidemi;
6. Afolabi Toun;
7. Afolabi Omowunmi;
8. Agbo Steve; and
9. Ajibade Omotayo.

Others are:
10. Akande Olabisi;
11. Akhigbe Catherine;
12. Akinrolabu Folasade;
13. Ako Esiri;
14. Akpan Rosemary;
15. Alimi Bukola;
16. Ani Ndirika;
17. Aroh Nchekwube; and
18. Ayodeji Sherifat.
