Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria will visit Amichi Diocesan School of Nursing for final accreditation in November this year.

The Council will also pay a pre- accreditation visit to the School of Midwifery of the Diocese.

The Bishop of Amichi Diocese Right Reverend Ephraim Ikeakor disclosed this while delivering his Presidential address at the just concluded Second Session of the Fourth Synod of the Diocese held at the Cathedral Church of Saint Andrew Amichi in Nnewi South Local Government Area.

Bishop Ikeakor stated that after the first accreditation visit, the Council upgraded the Institution to School of Nursing Sciences, comprising school of Nursing, Midwifery and Public Health, noting that
work has already commenced at the school of Midwifery to be ready before the accreditation date.
