Midwives strike as Nigeria toughens rules on work abroad

Midwives in Nigeria have gone on strike in response to new rules set by the government in regards to working abroad.

The new regulations require nurses to pay verification fees and practice in Nigeria for a minimum of two years before being eligible to work in other countries.

This has led to widespread dissatisfaction among midwives, who argue that the new rules are excessive and unfair.

The strike has caused concern among health officials, as it has the potential to disrupt healthcare services in the country.

The government has yet to respond to the strike, but it is clear that the issue is causing a rift between healthcare workers and authorities.
