Gajagojo:
A few examples
Soldiers went to Uniben to cause chaos during the cash crunch. There was no official response from government
Soldiers went to a police station and killed two policemen. No reaction from the National assembly
A member of the House of representatives was slapped by soldiers and they passed a resolution in anger.
Buhari and his family do not trust the health care system
Tinubu does not
ASUU was on strike for nearly a year. Buhari 's daughter in law was graduating in London
Gbajamiala was posting picture of himself at Harvard.

THAT IS WHY WE NEED TO START AFRESH WITH OBI.

5 Years Before Going Abroad Doctors Bill: A Clinical Stitch In Time

Nigeria's House of Representatives in its tweet on 6 April, announced that a bill sponsored by Rep Ganiyu Abiodun Johnson to prevent Nigerian-trained medical or dental practitioners from being granted full licences until they have worked for a minimum of five years in the country has passed second reading at the Nigerian House of Representatives https://twitter.com/HouseNGR/status/1643996023885533184?s=20

My First Reaction

At last! It came late since I wrote to recommend that this law be passed for years now but it is still better it is coming this late than never. I support this bill be passed as law and the President must quickly assent to the law for immediate implementation and subsequent domestication by every state of the federation .

Cuba has such a law and it worked for all government-trained doctors as they require official persmission to relocate overseas after being trained by the Cuban government https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cuba-usa-migrants-healthcare-idUSKBN0TK58B20151201

The unregulated exit of Nigerian government-trained doctors here in our country has almost crashed the system yet there are several reports and complaints that they are being enslaved overseas.

Will The Law Be Effective?

The way the law will be effective is to delay the process from when medical induction oath taking takes place to when you recieve provisional and full permanent medical license to practice as a medical doctor.

All travels by those set of doctors covered by the law will be required to get official permission from the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) for travel within that period and the list to be shared with the Legislature and Immigration service on a periodic basis.

The law will make defaulters who flout the 5-year moratorium liable to conviction if they leave Nigeria to permanently reside and transfer their tax-expense acquired skillset to a foreign country before 5 years.

Anyone still doubting if this law will work should ask any professional this rhethorical question : You do not want a criminal record as a professional or would you want to be prosecuted?

The ship has set sail and the rest of the loose ends will be sorted out even though I suggest that this law be accelerated.


What Are Nigerians Saying?

There are two courts in the land, the more powerful one is the court of public opinion in the scheme of sociological perspectives.

Those who ignore the power of public opinion later realised too late.

There are some erstwhile powerful trade unions that underestimated the power of public opinion and today not enjoying the public sympathy.

That is why I am staying on the fundamental and basic question of "Must the taxpayers lose on all sides?" I am not about 'whataboutism'.

Like this problem of young doctors leaving immediately after training which remained unaddressed until now, I believe that one day, the issue of paying huge subsidies on petrol and electricity to only a set of Nigerians while millions of other Nigerians without roads and electricity have no equivalent subsidy yet forced by the system to pickup the social cost and burden of the debt and fiscal capture of state resources for a privileged compatriots will get to this level of national bill too.

Everyone of those with elitist education seem to want to take advantage of the system and when you ask them a basic question on why should a tax payer train you and when you finish your training you immediately take your skill to another country, what I recieve are cocky answers telling me "whatabout" so so so and so in response.

To make it mandatory for young medical doctors to stay back at least 5 years after being trained with tax payers money is not too much to ask from you if you attend government universities where your education was heavily subsidized.

Right Family Values On Decline.

Parents who scatter their homes and raise children who grow up to run far away from home are on trial as well. It is not just the young professionals using the japa syndrome as smokescreen.

It is abnormal and dysfunctional for a young man and/or woman to finish school and immediately want to move several thousand kilometres away from his parents and deny those who trained him of his skill. It is against natural justice and these young professionals will lose.

In my opinion, this law asking them to stay will turn out to be a blessing in disguise for them.

How about other professionals?
Cause you seem to be fixated on doctors alone as if they took something from you.
It is a daft bill and I expect NMA and NARD to take it up with the courts. It's tantamount to enslavement or imprisonment to say medical doctors can't leave the country simply because they are doctors. Studying medicine is not a crime.
I suspect an underlying bitterness and jealousy on your part though. Perhaps you were unfortunate to be denied admission to study medicine as an undergraduate and the hurt of that disappointment is still fresh thus, you wish to sentence others who succeeded where you failed to prison.
You need to heal

LivingSage:
God bless them.


You can't be trained in Nigeria almost free of charge (because u paid chicken fee as tuition fee compared to Europe) without paying back to the Country, but using that knowledge to benefit European countries.

You would agree with me that such ban should not be limited to doctors or other health workers but should include Politicians (both pass and present) from having health care in their country. These will not only make them appreciate the doctors and health workers here in Nigeria, it will also make leaders in the country improve on the health facilities in the country.
This should be applied to education. All Politician Children should be made to school here in Nigeria (especially, Public school), this would make them take Education sector serious.

frankson1:



I don't doubt you because it's just the truth you stated.

Don't also forget that the UK government only accept 'ready-made' Doctors.

Well, the Nigeria situation is parthetic and I don't know what else the Doctors need to do to change this when industrial actions have failed to draw the attention of those who are supposed to see that the schools are well equipped.

This is a very big problem and the leaders are not ready to sort this out.

It's a shame though.

Thats reason why most of them go abroad to receive treatment. The bill national assembly is creating to restrict doctors from going overseas for greener pastures will further create more deaths in hospitals cos the doctors wont be bothered to attend to certain patients.

Its unfortunate that our government invest in roads and bridges where they can make a huge sum of money and neglect our health institutions.

aswani:
Interesting that India is not on the list, the PM has Indian ancestry. Very interesting.

India has a robust medical system. Theirs is way better than the countries outlined above so its not about if the prime minister is from India. A lot of countries refer their patients to India for further treatment including Nigeria.

Uninformed mumu, this law has been there all this while. It's not a new one.
What the UK banned is ACTIVE recruitment involving agencies, etc.
Recruitment directly via NHS is the main route and is still going on.

How much are you paying the Nigerian doctors that have stayed back??
What's their welfare like generally?
How about their security?

Nigeria as been in the Red list before now and yet Uk employers are still recruiting people.

What the red list only means is that Uk cannot advertise jobs in the Red list countries but prospective employees can make a research on a recruiting company and if they deem you fit, they all sponsor you.

You know what those children born in the UK are 9 times out 10 turns out to be failures go and do your research on how badly UK born to Nigerian parents turn out to be you will be shocked.

What does this have to do with APC?

This was based on WHO's declaration last month. Did you read the article? It said:

The WHO on March 8, 2023, listed Nigeria and other 54 countries as facing the most pressing health workforce challenges related to universal health coverage.

But you missed to ask the question; why is Nigeria on the list. Nigeria is on the list because of bad government who don't take care of their workforce. Their salary is nothing to write home about considering the cost of living in Nigeria where our leaders embezzle our funds dry. Instead of improving on their salaries and other benefits, the situation kept getting worse which had led to so many strikes by the health workers. This country needs revamping, but ethnic affiliation and bigotry won't let us put our leaders in check on their excesses.

FreeStuffsNG:

I very much comprehend the issues. It is you who is fixated on doctors that need a head check.
FYI, most Nigerians that go to UK go as caregivers not even doctors but your problem is doctors.
What makes doctors different that you wish them servitude for five years in a decrepit health system even the President does not patronise?
Mobility of labour is a fundamental right and we're not in a communist system where human rights do not exist. Nigeria is a signatory to Labour rights and dignity with ILO.
Stop your puerile obsession with doctors.

Canada is difficult to penetrate for Nigeria doctors unless they plan to go there not to practice.

That U.S route is costly for an average Nigerian doctor Na why UK be the saving grace for them.

Any Nigerian doctor that mistakenly go to Canada will be driving uber or doing security job for the next decade under the guise of no Canadian experience, bloody wicked country pretending they need professionals only that they need professionals to be doing menial jobs because they feel it is better for their society.

FreeStuffsNG:

You left the substance of the issue and went for insult. The taxpayers have been enslaved by subsidizing their education for so long and it not too much to ask that they fulfil their obligation to the taxpayers. If your parents are rich and successful, nothing stops them from sending you overseas so we can subsidize those who can give back to the tax payers.

Dvmb quote from agbado munching agbero. Don't doctors pay taxes? Aren't the doctors giving back to society by paying their taxes ? Do you APC supporters think at all ?
