Chris Ngige has reversed his comment that Nigeria has ‘surplus doctors’ and he was, thus, not worried about Nigerian doctors leaving the country to go practice in other climes.
The comment drew rage from many Nigerians, especially medical professionals who have been struggling to tackle the challenge of ‘brain drain’ in the health industry. “Every other thing I said in that interview is an existential reality, useful and constructive facts which every Nigerian that watched the full interview will hardly dispute.
“Most of these rejected applicants usually throng the Federal Ministry of Health and that of Labour and Employment to complain of being illegally schemed out.” “They later turn this problem to a national advantage when they repatriate their legitimate earnings and later return to the country.
He was indeed misquoted. Listened to the interview and it’s clear he was quoted out of context
Officials of this govermoment, have an odious predilection for spewing up spurious and asinine clarification, whenever they goof or fail in their responsibility. Ngige, should apologize, resign and forever hold his tongue. He is unfit for public office.
He must be thinking we are stupid
My country people make una no vex the man brain need recalibration after APC server was attacked. No vex please. Even Oga himself go uk to change oil and filter
Liar. Shameless lots. What everyone saw and heard on a live programme. This people have no dignity whatsoever. Little wonder Nigeria is in doldrums n monumental mess when this dishonest characters inhabit our public spaces.
There's no backtrack! He said some have used the same to sharpen their skills, and brought back Modern Facilities!
Bush man. He misquoted himself.

Ngige clarifies position on doctors’ migration - Premium Times NigeriaThe Minister of Labour and Employment, Chris Ngige, has clarified his position on the issue of migration by Nigerian medical doctors to foreign nations, a development which has reportedly led to brain drain in the nation’s medical profession.

But our Nigerian people go to press without adequate preparation, bungle the interview, then come back for damage control. Who does that? Your interview is on the internet already...you cannot repaint or rephrase those words anymore...its a pity
