Dr. Chris Ngige, Minister Of Labour and Productivity, has said doctors in Nigeria are free to leave, as the country is running in excess of doctors.Asked to comment on brain drain and if the deliberate recruitment of Nigerian doctors by foreign embassies is detrimental to the nation's health sector, Ngige said: “No, I am not worried [about doctors leaving the country]. We have surplus.
"If you have surplus, you export. It happened some years ago here. I was taught chemistry and biology by Indian teachers in my secondary school days. There are surplus in their country and we also have surplus in the medical profession in our country. I can tell you this. In my area, we have excess. When asked if he was sure of what he was saying, Ngige said it is good for doctors to travel out as they would receive training from abroad and open up centres in Nigeria."I know a couple of them who practise abroad but set up medical centres back home. They have CAT scan, MRI scan which even the government cannot maintain. So, I don’t see any loss."
When asked if brain drain was not hurting the health sector, he said: “Brain drain will only be inimical when, for instance, neurosurgeons travel and we don’t have neurosurgeons here.”

Fmohnigeria Weed talk
Fmohnigeria Fool when hospitals abroad are welcoming Doctors and nurses with mouth watering salary and offers to move in their families once a certain tax payment is reach. Shame
Fmohnigeria Fool
Fmohnigeria It's only in Nigeria that a minister will be spewing rubbish from his mouth... news flash sir.. doctors and nurses are sooooo leaving!
Fmohnigeria I watched the interview and I was very ashamed of him, I think his certificate should be scrutinized because he don't speak like someone that is educated.
Fmohnigeria A very silly thinking from a man once loved by many. Will he go to them for treatment?
Fmohnigeria This is the result of electing incompetent people to power.
Fmohnigeria He should have been sacked bf tomorrow. What we'd in dis country is Nurses not Doctors
Fmohnigeria It's a disgrace a medical doctor talk like like ordinary street machanic, he no his family members or himself can never goes to government hospital,God dey ooo
Fmohnigeria This man has gone mad I swear, so this is all u could say
Fmohnigeria Says the uninformed politician who runs outside the country to treat himself anytime he has a headache. SMH! Naija banana republic, God will deliver us from these people.
Fmohnigeria He might be right. There's hardly any Nigerian without one medical doctor as a member. The deficient figures may refer to public doctors employed by the government.
Fmohnigeria How did you become a minister sef?
Fmohnigeria Your are Lia
Fmohnigeria How true is this for God's sake! According to the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria, Nigeria has a doctor-people ratio of 1:4088, while the WHO standard is 1:600. Such a minister will always make the president believe all is well. Pathetic!
Fmohnigeria Sense is not common when you hear a statement like these especially when it as to do with the health care
Fmohnigeria In Nigeria where u can’t have one doctor per 50000 people and you say we have adequate doctors it’s a shame
royalwale1 Fmohnigeria Living in denial
Fmohnigeria Someone should please ask Chris Ngige that does it include babalawos, native doctors & dibias 🤔
Fmohnigeria I dont believe SenChrisNgige said this, he must have been quoted out of context,if as d current minister of labour and a medical doctor he sees nothing wrong in doctors leaving Nigeria in droves,then we can see why most things are not working under PMB
Fmohnigeria A suwegbe like Him. Tell me why won't he emite soch jargon. What has he to offer to populace. He has been incompetent since leaving the Anambra State, a puppet of many political bigotry.
Fmohnigeria Obviously Ngige is talking from his anus rather than from his brains. We have enough misfits who called themselves 'Doctors' who will operate on a patient and 4get either cotton wool or knives in the patients bowels. Doctors who the elites refuses to patronize. Disgusting
Fmohnigeria The ones enough are not qualified cos they do not have apparatus to practice with, naija hospitals lack hospital equipment.
Fmohnigeria This is what happens when your political and leadership system put bubbles up mediocrity.
Fmohnigeria I'm deeply saddened by this reckless statement by someone who should know better. If doctors are well paid, and the facilities for their work are adequate and up to date, they would not leave Nigeria. The minister should think more about the masses.
Fmohnigeria SMH... When any of his child gets sick, he shouldn't fly them outside the country please. Even him as well, shouldn't fly outside the country. So we'd know if this is true or not.
Fmohnigeria Awon abunu Minister 🙆♀️🙆♀️😀

It's amazing how eminent Nigerians who know what is right but speak out of both sides of their mouth.
