The president of the association, Victor Makanjuola, while speaking at a briefing in Abuja on Sunday, said the medical officials left the services of 17 tertiary health institutions in the country.
He said the issue of insecurity ravaging major parts of the country is contributing to the daily exit of medical practitioners from the country. “These young people will not leave if the economy is good, the older ones will not leave if there are facilities to train with; they will not leave if their pay is reasonable and most importantly they will not leave if they are gainfully employed,” he said.He said the government can improve the conditions of service of those still in the system to halt further brain drain.
He said the federal government’s circular is not in line with the earlier agreement reached during negotiation with representatives of various associations under the health sector. Before the recent increment, health workers in Nigeria are entitled to only N5,000 as hazard allowances.Mr Makanjuola said the association reached some resolutions following its National Executive Council meeting held in Bauchi between January 19 and 23, 2022.
