Kwara State governor should keep quiet,after sectionalised civil service employments for Ilorin indigenes he is now crying that Kwara lack doctors, Kwara South and North knew they have no chance so better for them to go to other sensible States who don't care where you come from when it comes to health care.

Kwara isn’t safe for humans to live let alone doctors. Nigeria is a joke

What about non state indigene doctors.They can be used to fill the gap.

Maybe the pay is not attractive.

.
Is not only about the pay.. if the economy and country is good and better.. constant electricity light, the naira has value, low inflation, costs of living is low, transportation, house rent, school fees for children, foodstuffs is not too expensive and it's cheap, quality health care and health sector with government hospital that are in deteriorable and bad conditions conditions are rehabilitated, upgraded , built and provided with quality standard medical equipments..many doctors will not japa out of the country..it's the bad economy and country that is making them to japa
..

See what Tinubu renewed shege hard economy has caused..it's a pity

merits:
Why is that those three that japa came back?That shows no greener pasture anywhere however three of them are disgraced to japahood

You can see that the 'japa' might be to another state, not necessarily out of the country.

Time to use AI or telemedicine to replace some of these people.

Maxymilliano:
The government should explore the options of engaging native doctors to bridge the shortage

Which level be this oga

Sweetest taboo. Jagaban is working.

SmartPolician:
Nigeria needs to build more universities where doctors will be trained in their numbers and increase the salaries of those working in Nigeria

They will still leave because working conditions and salaries not encouraging

vincenteger:
This effects of bad leadership

Keep supporting tinubu

as if with Obi fraud Doctors wont Japa

DrAda:
Like I said earlier, it is only going to get worse but by all means let's ignore this ongoing crisis and focus on developing primary health care plus other activities that make zero sense.

The fact still remains that no health care provider wishes to remain in this country because wages are terribly poor with absolutely no room for professional growth.

The problem is not only political, it is also systemic.
Let them remove the administration of our health care system from the hand of strictly doctors and into the hands of health care managers who will overhaul the system and restructure it holistically. Every medical practitioner will enjoy it.
The doctors are stiffening our health care system.
Our PHC system will not really grow due to this.
Doctors are not needed at primary health care facilities but from secondary and above, since it's not directly affecting them, they will not do the right thing.
Let us overhaul our health care system on Nigeria

njokuuche77:
This is the painful reality of brain drain. You can’t blame the doctors for seeking better pay and working conditions abroad.
It’s good that the Kwara State government is thinking long-term with sponsorship and retention plans, but we need urgent action too—better incentives, safer work environments, and real career growth at home. Otherwise, even the few left will keep disappearing.

All na tok until it touches them. Brain drain - politicians and office holders go abroad to meet these same Drs.

REDshouse:

Try am first.

I am all for any suggestions that can address this sad issue. Not sure if this will change anything

Increase salaries
If you pay the right amount would will come from abroad and work

Reprioritize, stop jumbo politicians salaries and corruption and hire great skills for great money, even if your state is know for only healthcare, you can grow revenue from that

So why are you still here Ada? You don't like to earn in dollars?😝

nedekid:
Starting salary 5m monthly.
It may not be anything compared to those abroad, but atleast those over here can live a reasonably decent lifestyle.

See this one.....

5m starting? 🤣🤣🤣

luminouz:

I do but I have other goals which I am hoping will work out. Unfortunately, my colleagues do not have the same faith and I don't blame them.

We are good here!
We don’t need any medical practitioner
Let’s build more Ile-Kewu and make sharia more effective

Civilization is a sin

Dem don start o,na Kwara go be the hitting point.

luminouz:

£2300 or $3000?
For a doctor? Is that too much to pay to keep at least some of them in the country?

not just kwara state, a lot of teaching hospitals are looking for resident doctors to fill up vacancies but no one is turning up.
a lot of doctors are going to next door Gambia where they get at least 2000 USD monthly and then from there make their way to other countries when the time comes.
Nobody wants to sit down here and work in a non conducive environment with poor pay .

Toymax88:
The pay is VERY poor in KWARA STATE, how I wish teachers can also JAPA, imagine level 08 step 2 being paid 75k. Level 08 step 2 in Oyo is earning 120k


The difference between level 17 in KWARA and level 17 in Oyo state is 135k.


I have a colleague though from OYO STATE working in KWARA STATE, the wife and children are in OYO STATE, the wife just got an appointment in Oyo, her salary is far far better than that of the husband working in KWARA STATE, the husband is now seeking for INTERSTATE SERVICE TRANSFER.


THE SCALE OF SALARY IN KWARA STATE IS GENERALLY POOR -IT CUT ACROSS ALL BOARDS

And they were requesting only Bsc for their teaching employment requirements this year while Oyo still employed HND and NCE as teachers.they want the best with low pay.

Cmanforall:
That should be an important part of the complaint. Journalists could have probed for that.

Imagine if it is 100k and the government is complaining

the salary was 500k ,now increased to 700k

ChizzyBuna:
Porn i was downloading reach 70%
MTN say my data don finish

How can 2 gig finish in 20 mins

Porn dey sap data like mad naa.

B.Sc. for senior secondary school teachers while NCE is for KWSUBEB teachers' recruitment l. No HND

obegiri:

For entry level?

If so, let them advertise publicly, including online

Kwara state with their useless salary scale.

🙆🏾‍♂️

Angelfrost:
You sure?!!

Put up a salary of $1500 per month starting, and you will witness a long queue of qualified applicants.


...What are lawmakers doing that they should be earning far more than Doctors and Academics?!!


Una never serious for this country.

See thief ...
