Massive jubilation abroad as FG makes move to hire Nigerian doctors in diaspora.

The FG says it’s setting up a mechanism to engage Nigerian doctors & nurses in the diaspora & connect them with universities & hospitals in the country.

The Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire said this at an event in Abuja on January 10, DailyTrust reports. Lamenting that experienced doctors and nurses were leaving the country, Ehanire said a lot of them felt they were not properly rewarded for the work they were doing.

The minister said the FG was trying to address the issue by improving the conditions of service for medical personnel.

What we are also doing is to do what they call the conversion of brain drain to brain gain. We are doing that with a new mechanism that is being set up now to engage Nigerian doctors & nurses in the diaspora & connect them with universities and hospitals because modern technology makes it possible for somebody to be delivering lectures in New York & we have people here listening to it.
