Why Bill To Stop Doctors From Moving Abroad Will Fail – Senator Tells Reps

Ibrahim Oloriegbe, the Senate committee chairman on health, has told his colleagues in the House of Representatives that the bill to prevent Nigerian-trained medical or dental practitioners from leaving Nigeria until after 5 years of practicing in the country will fail.

The sponsor of the bill, Ganiyu Johnson, representing Oshodi/Isolo Federal Constituency, proposed that such persons should have their licences withheld to prevent them from leaving the country within five five years of being qualified.
