I beg to disagree with you sir. While I can't completely rule out the possibility of such so called "voodoo" recruitment, I believe the probability of it being as pervasive as the status quo, is low. You ask why? Simply because the various cadres of healthcare professionals viz medical doctors, medical lab scientists, dental doctors, pharmacists, nurses, optometrists, etc are still grossly insufficient (though this is fast changing with the ways some institutions are churning out graduates of this professions) compared to other professional and non-professional courses.
In other words, it may be more transparent than what obtains in the current system. The teaching hospitals just refuse to employ regular residents and rely on supernumerary resident doctors and few interns, hence the general dearth of these professionals in these hospitals. Thus you find a lot of prospective resident doctors who hv already bagged the necessary pre-requisite of primaries qualifications in their chosen specialities wasting away years without getting placement, with some evn exceeding the stipulated expiration dates fr d validity

The CMDs are the bane of these healthcare institutions, their incompetence, above the law mentality, non-challance, dirty politics, mismanagement and diversion of fundsetc.

How so. Do u care to elaborate

The last time Uch and Ife employed resident doctors officially was about 2 to 3 years, so if the federal government can thus be doing it yearly, it would be better.
