Dr Osagie Ehanire, Nigeria’s Minister of Health, has said that the government was planning to provide better funding for hospitals so that migration becomes unattractive for doctors in the country.


Ehanire made the comments on Friday in Abuja after inspecting the new Cancer Centre at the National Hospital, Abuja.

He said, “I have heard the challenge of doctors leaving the country. We have plans to provide better funding for our hospitals in Nigeria and make such migration unattractive.”

He added that measures were being put in place to prepare for a potential second wave of COVID-19 pandemic.

“Schools are resuming, people are travelling in and out the country so we must be prepared for any emergency,” he added.

Mtcheeew.

This health minister should stop lying like this. This is the same health minister that schooled abroad.

He can't stop migration. It is more than just money. It's about quality of life. It's about better education, standards and better job satisfaction.

You can't stop a dissatisfied doctor who earns like peanuts yearly(not monthly) in a dying country from moving to greener pastures where everything works, his/her skills are in high demand, and he is paid between 10- >50 times the amount he presently earns in this zoo.

Make it make sense.
