The Texas Board of Nursing, United States, has announced that it has charged no fewer than 75 nurses to court over issues bordering around falsification of certificates.

On the list posted on the website of the board, 43 of the names were identified as nurses of Nigerian origin.

Report in February shows that 18 Nigerian nurses in the US were charged with certificate forgery.

The US authorities had said that list would be updated continuously as the board received additional information about the fraudulent diploma/transcript scheme.
