Nigerian Army College of Nursing Form
The Nigerian Army College of Nursing (NACON) — located at Myhoung Barracks, Yaba, Lagos — is the military’s premier nursing training institution in Nigeria. It admits military, paramilitary, and civilian applicants into various nursing programmes such as ND/HND Nursing and Community Nursing (and in some years, Bachelor of Nursing Science in affiliation with a university).
➡️ Although the most recent confirmed admission cycle publicly documented is for 2025/2026, the Nigerian Army College of Nursing typically releases its forms annually around mid-year. The 2026/2027 admission form is expected soon, if it hasn’t already been released (watch the official NACON portal).
