Nigerian Nurses Urged To Utilise International Programmes

Nigeria nurses have been advised to take advantage of professional opportunities to revolutionise the healthcare landscape in the country and the entire Africa.

The health and education ambassador for UNICITI International Education Hub, Mauritius and Swansea University Wales, UK, Amb. Peace Onuiri, who gave the advice at a press briefing in Abuja yesterday, announced the launch of a one-year top-up programme for nurses who already hold a diploma or BSc.

Onuiri said the programme delivered by Swansea University in the UK would be hosted at the UNICITI Education Hub in Mauritius.

“In just six weeks, we will begin welcoming students from across the continent, uniting them in a shared mission to elevate the standards of nursing in Africa. This programme is not just an academic endeavour; it is a transformative journey that will empower our nurses with advanced skills, knowledge, and global perspectives.

“African nurses will receive world-class training directly from Swansea University’s lecturers. This is more than a course; it is an investment in the future of African healthcare,” she said.

She said they recognise that financial barriers often stand in the way of educational advancement in Nigeria, which is why they are offering an unprecedented 70 per cent discount on tuition fees for the first 50 students who enroll.
