FG Rejects Bill To Halt Doctors Relocating Abroad

The Federal Government, on Monday, described as “unworkable”, a bill currently being considered by the National Assembly seeking to restrict the migration of Nigerian doctors to climes perceived to be greener pastures.

The Minister of Labour and Employment, Senator Chris Ngige, revealed this while fielding questions from journalists after the extraordinary Federal Executive Council meeting presided over by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo at the State House, Abuja.

Responding to a threat by resident doctors to embark on a five-day warning strike over perceived attempts to ground medical and dental graduates nationwide for five years before being granted a practising licence, Ngige said the bill negates extant Labour laws.

The sponsor of the ill, a member of the House of Representatives from Lagos State, Ganiyu Johnson, had explained that the move will check the mass exodus of medical practitioners from the country.

The bill discriminate against health workers.

Build more teaching hospitals. There many Nigerian youths willing to study medicine but universities denied them admissions due limited space not because they are not qualify

They need to criminalize medical tourism. That's what will induce the elites to invest in health care system.

Minister of labour is not the FG

So who's the FG that's against it?

Well, it does not matter it the FG agree to it, if majority of the lawmakers are in support of the bill, it will become a law

Better

FG simply is helpless about the bill and the ugly immigration of healthcare worker,but there is nothing its can do about it because government officials can't never stop the idea of foreign healthcare seeking behaviour.

The two zombies arguing up are as confused as their leaders who are deceiving this nation.

Ngige is a mad fool. So he just realised.

Short people dey worry
why not develope the Nigeria health care system first.
