The registrar said last year, the council trained and inducted a total of over 21,232 nurses that are competent to work for the people of Nigeria and beyond.

He enjoined the newly inducted nurses to always consider the interest of Nigerians as their services are most needed at this period in various health institutions especially at the grassroots and hard-to-reach areas, as well as the primary healthcare level.

An inductee Mohammed Abubakar who spoke on behalf of the other inductees said they were committed to putting the knowledge they garnered from abroad and Nigeria into providing quality service delivery in the country.
