There Are More Nigerian Nurses In Europe Than In Nigeria – EU by Caseless: 1:27am On Feb 12, 2016 |
Mr Michel Arrion, the Head of European Union Delegation to Nigeria and ECOWAS, says there are more Nigerian nurses in Europe than there are in Nigeria. Arrion told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Thursday that the health professionals would better serve to provide and deliver social services to Nigeria. He said that a situation whereby some Nigerians travel to European countries and remained to work was not in the interest of the country. “You give visas to students and they study in Europe and they stay in Europe. No, please go back and develop your country. I think it is very important. We must avoid what we call brain drain. “I always take the example of the number of Nigerian nurses in European hospitals. There are more Nigerian nurses in European hospitals than in Nigeria. But of course, if they go back (to Europe), if they send back money, that’s very good. “They (Nigerians) should be better trained (in Europe) and come back (to Nigeria) and better serve and provide and deliver social services to their compatriots,” he said. Earlier, Arrion, in a statement said that Nigeria was an important country of origin of regular and irregular migration to the EU and its member-states. According to him, many of them risk their lives and perish in the Mediterranean. The EU official explained that there were almost 9,000 Nigerian illegal migrants in Europe in 2014. “In 2014, Nigerians accounted for an estimated 8,700 out of the 283,532 irregular migrants entering EU borders, many of whom risked their lives crossing the Mediterranean. “However, majority of Nigerians enter and reside in EU legally and millions of Diaspora Nigerians are residing in the EU. “As a regional economic power, Nigeria is also on the receiving end of migration, attracting an estimated three million labour workers from neighbouring countries. “In the first half of 2015, Nigerian citizens ranked ninth of all persons granted international protection in EU’s 28 member states. “Nigerian nationals are the most numerous among non-European victims of trafficking in human beings and they are also the most numerous among traffickers,” he said. https://www.today.ng/news/national/78154/there-are-more-nigerian-nurses-in-europe-than-in-nigeria-eu 1 Share

Why won't it be so? When our nomadic president visits London, France and UAE over slight medical concern. While our hospitals become ruinous because of hypocrisy in the elites. I have since then lost faith in the rumored ban on oversea medical tourism by this FG. 10 Likes |

This could be true. But why would they come back when there are no incentives to come back? We have a long way to go in naija. Nigerian trained medical professionals need the help of those trained in europe and america and i think the government should as a matter of urgency, set up attractive incentives to win back our best brains abroad and also build up the capacity of the ones in Nigeria. 4 Likes |

So Nigerians are only a mere 8,700 out of 283,532 Illegals in the EU, or some [size=14pt]0.03%[/size] (Negligible) of illegal Migrants, and these people will not let us hear word? That is even commendable, considering the fact that 2.5% of the entire world is Nigerian, and 1 in every 4.5 Sub Saharan African is Nigerian. I am sure there are far more Nigerian professionals in Europe than 8,700 people, contributing meaningfully to the European economy and pool of talents... Hundreds of Nigerian doctors and Engineers in the UK come to mind..... The Hypocrisy of Europe is EPIC! 14 Likes |
