The National Association of Nigeria Nurses and Midwives is to begin the long awaited constitution conference next week to review her obsolete laws according to a message posted on her twitter page.
Delegates from federal, state, local and private nursing groups are expected to arrive Abuja as from Sunday to work on the constitution which was last reviewed more than a decade ago. Nursesworld recalls that attempts in the past few years to come out with a new constitution had been futile for 3 consecutive times due to vested interest.
