The resident doctors said they agree with House of Representatives on the palpable dangers of current menace of brain drain in the health sector and promised to work with government at all levels to reverse trend and come up with genuine solutions. They are demanding a pay rise of 35 per cent, which they say is needed to help make up for more than a decade of salary cuts in real terms. They also argue pandemic backlogs, coupled with staff shortages, are massively increasing workloads, endangering patients.
“The extended NOC appreciates the Federal Government of Nigeria for the near completion of the payment of 2020 MRTF and the reviewed hazard allowance arrears. They encouraged the government to ensure that the few persons yet to be paid are settled forthwith. “The extended NOC admonishes the House of Representatives that the obnoxious bill as sponsored by Ganiyu Johnson is a clear definition of modern day slavery and not in keeping with anything civil and so should be thrown away at this point. The house, however, agreed with him on the palpable dangers of the current menace of brain drain in the health sector and promises to work with government to reverse the trend when the government is ready to come up with genuine solutions to the problem.
