A tragic incident has sparked widespread reactions after a 25-year-old medical Doctor, Wisdom Oghenetega Enakirerhi, serving as a National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) member reportedly died days after his request for sick leave was allegedly denied.

According to reports, the young doctor was serving in the NYSC when he became seriously ill. He kept requesting a sick leave to recover for 3 weeks, but his request was initially turned down.

According to the report by a Dr Akpoyibo, “A 25-year-old medical doctor who spent 7 years in medical school, completed a one-year internship, and was serving in the NYSC was sick, asked for permission for good three weeks’ leave, but he was not granted permission and niw he is d+ad.”
The report further stated that “funny enough the father and brother of thus young man are doctors. They asked that he should be allowed to come home for care but they refused.”

The report revealed that he was only allowed to go home few days before his demise.

May his soul rest in peace.

His superior's did not believe him.

Superiors and employers need to pay attention and value the medical needs of their subordinates and staff

Eya, after all the years of rigorous medical practice, only to end up late!!

I know it's easy to blame the government but then, the fact that many Nigerians are dishonest, it makes it extremely difficult to believe whatever they say (the real ones like this dead Corper always suffer the consequences). Same reason visa interview is something else in Nigeria and with Nigerians, unlike other nationalities (some of us go as far as falsifying documents, drugs, arranged marriage/POF, etc)..

Again, why are Corp members the ones burying him instead of his family🤔??

RIP dear Corper, Nigeria and Nigerians failed you💔...
