Full List of Nursing Schools In Nigeria 2023

This is a detailed list of accredited Nursing schools in Nigeria. 

Nursing is not just a noble profession, but one of the most sought-after professions in Nigeria. The demand for nurses in not just Nigeria, but the world at large is very high.

In Nigeria, trained nurses are well paid, as they make up the larger part of health professionals, after medical doctors.

Despite the fact that nursing is a hot cake in Nigeria, not many tertiary institutions have what it takes to train nurses. Or rather, not many institutions have been accredited by the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria to train nurses in Nigeria.

Hence, if you wish to study nursing in Nigeria, or you are a parent/guardian seeking admission for your children into nursing schools in Nigeria, this guide will help.

In this guide, I will show you the complete and updated list of approved schools of nursing, midwifery, post-basic nursing, and departments of nursing in all the states in Nigeria.
