Naija News recalls that the policy, unveiled by the Minister of State for Health, Dr. Tunji Alausa, is part of efforts to stem the tide of healthcare workers leaving the country, a phenomenon widely known as ‘Japa’.
According to Punch Newspaper, Dr. Alausa said that health workers now must resign if they wish to pursue opportunities overseas, a directive emanating from an Executive Order by President Bola Tinubu aimed at tackling the brain drain crisis in the health sector.
